How Kentucky's June 23 primary will be different - vote by mail details, etc.

Voting will be a little different this year for the June 23 primary election, with most voting happening by mail. But there are a few different options Kentucky voters have to cast their ballot. 

There will be a link where you can request a ballot at www.GoVoteKY.com starting May 22. You can alternately call your county clerk now to request a mail-in ballot, but that process will have added steps. You can find your county clerk's number at this website. Some county clerk websites also have an online form to request a ballot.

There's a June 15 deadline to request mail ballots. Ballots need to be postmarked no later than June 23 and received by June 26 (but earlier is better!). Postage on ballots is already paid, and there will also be local drop boxes at limited locations if you'd prefer to drop them off rather than mailing them.

Kentucky's June 23 primary includes elections for the U.S. Senate seat, state legislative seats and some local governing bodies. To see who's on your ballot, where they stand on issues, check your voter registration, and much more, visit www.KentuckyElection.org.

You can register to vote, update your voter address, or check your voter registration by May 26 at www.GoVoteKY.com. Seventeen-year-olds who will be 18 on or before November 3 can go ahead and register now and vote!

152,000 Kentuckians with felonies in their past recently won the right to vote again! You can find out if you're one of them at www.WeAreKentuckians.org/votingrights.
