Over 3.4 Million Kentuckians Registered For General Election

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced this week more than 3.4 million Kentuckians are registered to vote ahead of the November 6 General Election.

According to a release, Democrats represent the plurality of the electorate with 1.68 million registered voters, or 49.6 percent of voters. Republicans total about 1.41 million, around 41.7 percent of voters, and more than 295,400 voters, about 8.68 percent, are registered with another party or as “Other.”

Grimes indicates the final report of voters for the General Election shows a net increase of nearly 35,000 voters since the May 22 Primary Election.

Each of Kentucky’s six Congressional Districts gained voters since the Primary Election. The 6th Congressional District saw a net gain of more than 9,100 voters. The Republican Party and other affiliations gained voters in all the districts, while the Democratic Party gained voters in the 3rd, 4th, and 6th Districts.

More than 63,000 voters have registered online to vote since the launch of GoVoteKY.com in 2016.
