Between Sept. 1 and Oct. 11, there were 22,613 new registrations, for a net gain of 16,467 voters, according to Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams. Oct. 11 was the cutoff for registrations.

“These are the strongest voter registration numbers since Fall 2020, when a record 2 million Kentuckians voted,” Adams said in a press release. “With congressional, state legislative, judicial and local races on the ballot, plus two constitutional amendments, I hope this augurs strong participation in November.”

Within that same period, 6,146 Kentucky voters were removed from the rolls, which included 4,833 deceased voters, 745 voters convicted of felonies, 464 who moved out of state, 66 who voluntarily de-registered, 36 adjudged incompetent and two duplicate registrations, according to Adams. 

Republican registration increased by 10,920 voters, and Democratic registration increased by 1,474 voters. Voters registered as Independent or with other affiliation increased by 3,973 voters.
