Like elsewhere around the country, Kentucky is seeing record turnout and strong enthusiasm among voters ahead of the 2024 general election.
According to Secretary of State Michael Adams, 792,476 Kentuckians have already cast their ballots after in-person excused absentee voting and early voting have finished.
He adds 656,277 Kentuckians voted early in person with an average of more than 215,000 Kentuckians voting over the three-day early voting period.
Of the 656,277 who used early voting – 345,380 (52.6%) are registered Republicans, 264, 441 (40.3%) are registered Democrats and 46,456 (7.1%) are Independent or other.
The overall registered voters in Kentucky are 46.8% Republican, 42.5% Democrat and 10.7% Independent or other.
Election officials say these are the unofficial total but said the numbers have defied expectations, especially compared to past years of early voting turnout.
Official anticipate a large turnout of voters on Election Day Tuesday, November 5, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. across the commonwealth.
