Tuesday May 21st is Primary Election Day in Kentucky. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. as voters choose nominees for president, Congress, the Kentucky General Assembly and local offices in some parts of the state. Any voter who is in line by 6 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot. Kentucky does not have same-day registration. But if you registered to vote 29 days before the election and your name is not on the precinct roster, you may request a provisional ballot. Proof of identification is required to vote in Kentucky. Accepted forms are a drivers license, college ID, military ID or another ID issued by the state or a county or city that has the voter’s name and photograph. More details about voters’ rights can be found on the State Board of Elections website. Voters may report suspected election law violations and voting irregularities to the Attorney General’s Office via its Election Fraud Hotline. The hotline will be staffed on Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The number is 1-800-328-VOTE, or 1-800-328-8683. The number of complaints logged by the hotline will be posted on the office’s website. For details about your local polling place, including an address, visit the State Board of Elections website and select your county. More information can be found at govote.ky.gov.
