Must I choose a party when I register?

Kentucky has closed party primary elections. You must register as a Democrat or Republican to vote in that party’s May primary election. If you choose a different party registration other than Democrat or Republican, you cannot vote in their respective primaries, but may vote in nonpartisan city and judicial primaries.

All eligible voters can vote in the November general election or special election.

Am I eligible to vote in an election if I move?

To be eligible to vote refer to the appropriate situation below:

– If you move within the county, notify the county clerk of your new address or update your driver’s license. The county clerk will tell you the location of your new voting precinct. If you do not do this before election day, you must go to the voting precinct of your new address to vote and update your voter registration address.
– If you move outside the county more than 28 days before election day; update your voter registration address with the new county clerk or renew your driver’s license in the new county at least 29 days before the election. If you do not notify the county clerk in either your old county or your new county of residence 29 days prior to an election, you are not eligible to vote in either county.
– If you move outside the county less than 28 days before the election then you may vote in your previous county of residence for this election, but must register to vote in your new county of residence for future elections.
– If you temporarily reside outside of Kentucky, but are eligible to vote in Kentucky you may vote by absentee ballot. Please see section regarding absentee ballots.
