“It's incredibly important that we offer the opportunity to protect the integrity of the ballot, that we create a mechanism, continue a mechanism of seamless law enforcement coordination to protect that incredible right, that incredible ability for our constitutional system to elect our leaders in free and fair elections,” said Attorney General Russell Coleman, R-Ky. 

Coleman said seven Kentuckians were convicted of election crimes after a tip came into the hotline concerning the 2022 primary election. He added the hotline received 35 calls before Election Day, which included questions about voting procedures and an allegation of vote buying or selling.

“We want to show Kentuckians that we take election law seriously, election fraud seriously," he said. "They can have confidence that our elective process is secure."

Senate Bill 2, which went into effect in 2020, requires Kentuckians to provide a photo ID at the polls. The ID must include the individual’s name and photo.

In 2021, Kentucky lawmakers signed House Bill 574 into law, which reduced absentee voting to three days and allows voters to request an absentee ballot through an online portal.
