Primary 2020: The mail-in ballot request portal is now live at www.GoVoteKY.com!

The primary election matters. When we vote, we’re choosing what kind of Kentucky we want to call home. And we want as many Kentuckians as possible to have a voice and a vote when we choose leaders on June 23.

Most voting in the primary election will be by mail so we can keep each other safe. But this process is new, and we need to spread the word about how it works.

Every registered voter in Kentucky is encouraged to vote by mail, and you can request a ballot at www.GoVoteKY.com. This is the easiest way to get a mail-in ballot.

Go ahead and request your ballot today while you’re thinking about it and encourage others to do the same!

June 15 is the deadline to request mail ballots. Your ballot must be postmarked no later than June 23 and received by June 26 (but earlier is better!). Read the directions on your ballot carefully and follow all the instructions including signing both envelopes. Postage on ballots is already paid.There also will be local drop boxes at limited locations if you'd prefer to drop off your ballot (your county clerk can tell you where).

Kentucky's June 23 primary includes elections for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, state legislature 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.

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.
