Voter registration grows as Primary nears

Frankfort, KY- Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that, leading up to the May 19 primary election, 9,839 new voters were added to the rolls, the biggest surge since the month of the 2024 presidential election.

"I'm heartened by the recent interest in voting this year for Congress, the General Assembly, judges, county offices, city offices, school boards, and at least one constitutional amendment," Adams said.


In March, net registration rose by 4,042 voters, while 5,797 voters were removed: 4,697 who were deceased, 493 felony convicts, 447 who moved out of state, 60 who were adjudged mentally incompetent, 51 duplicate registrations, 39 voters who voluntarily de-registered, and 10 identified as non-citizens.

Republican registration constitutes 48 percent of the electorate, with 1,606,995 voters. Republican registration grew by 2,526 voters, a .16 percent increase. Democratic registration accounts for 41 percent of the electorate, with 1,373,369 voters. Democratic registration fell by 626, a .05 percent decrease. There are 378,272 voters registered under other political affiliations (mostly independent), making up 11 percent of the electorate. "Other" registration rose by 2,071, a .55 percent increase.
