Voter Empowerment

Voter Registration Deadline

Voter registration  cards must be turned into the correct County Clerk's office by the time end end of business hours, or postmarked and mailed to either the correct County Clerk or the State Board of Elections

Note that 17 year-olds who will be 18 on November 6th or earlier can register now so they can vote in the election.

Also note that students away at school can either use their permanent homeaddress or their temporary local address as their voter registration address.  It's completely up to them, but given that election day is a school day, we encourage students to consider registering at school - because they're much more likely to vote if the voting location is close and easy to get to.  

Former felons in the state of Kentucky cannot vote - even after they have served their debt to society - unless they have received a partial pardon from the Governor to have that right restored.  It's too late for this election, but former felons who have completed their sentence may request their rights back by filling out this form

Voter registration in Lexington

Last week members of the central Kentucky chapter registered voters at the Lexington transit center. The transit center is the hub of public transportation in the city with 25 routes loading and unloading riders every 30 minutes.
