NEWS REPORT

According to the State Board of Elections, there are 3,468,537 people registered to vote in the May 16 primary. From Thursday, May 11, through Saturday, May 13, voters in Kentucky can take advantage of the in-person, no-excuse voting, which will be available at local county clerk’s offices and other designated areas. Registered voters can check with their  local county clerk’s office or, once again, visit govoteky.com for the locations and times.

The state’s Constitutional Officers will appear on the ballot this year. That includes Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Auditor of Public Accounts, State Treasurer, and Commissioner of Agriculture. Other than the governor and Secretary of State races, the other four positions are considered open, as the current officeholders are seeking another elected position.
