Office of Elections

   Main Content

   ​The Secretary of State is Kentucky's Chief Election Official and the
   filing official for all candidates seeking an office to be voted for by
   the electors of more than one county, members of Congress, members of
   the General Assembly and of the Court of Justice. The Secretary of
   State also certifies candidates for those offices to be printed on the
   ballots, and vote totals for those offices are certified to the
   Secretary of State by the respective county clerks.

   This website contains resources for candidates and voters alike,
   including information about becoming a candidate, a current list of
   candidates who have filed with the Secretary of State and sample
   ballots. If you would like to be notified when someone files to run for
   an office that interests you, please sign up for the candidate filings
   notification service.

   To make sure you don't miss any elections or deadlines, check
   the schedule of years during which particular offices are regularly
   scheduled to appear on the ballot and the calendar applicable to the
   current election cycle.

   State Board of Elections

   The Secretary of State also serves as Chair of the State Board of
   Elections, an independent agency that administers the Commonwealth's
   election laws, promulgates administrative regulations necessary to
   properly carry out its duties, supervises the registration and
   purgation of voters, appoints political party representatives to the
   120 county boards of elections and certifies the official election
   results.
