Frankfort, KY - On December 27, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear announced this year's books have officially closed on another successful year of economic growth in Kentucky, concluding the best two-year period for announced private-sector investment and job creation in state history.

This year, 248 private-sector new-location and expansion projects committed to invest nearly $10.5 billion and create 16,000 full-time jobs. Those figures position 2022 as Kentucky's second highest year for new investment behind 2021's record year.

Kentucky voter registration grows post-election

From Michon Lindstrom

Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that voter registration has continued to grow even following the November election.

For November, Kentucky saw 11,078 new voters register, for a net gain of 4,004. Meanwhile, 7,074 voters were removed - 5,517 deceased voters, 953 felony convicts, 498 who moved out of state, 81 who were adjudged mentally incompetent, and 25 who voluntarily de-registered. These totals include 580 registrations and 10 removals begun, but not effectuated, between October 12 and November 8, when by statute the voter rolls were closed.

Secretary Adams reminds Kentuckians who wish to update their political party affiliation to do so by December 31, in order to be eligible to vote in the May 16, 2023 primary in the party of their choice. By law, a voter who is registered as a Democrat or Independent after December 31, 2022 will not be able to vote in May's Republican primary, and a voter who is registered as a Republican or Independent after December 31, 2022 will not be able to vote in May's Democratic primary. This rule does not apply to voters newly registered after the first of the year.
