Kentucky voter registration sees a post-election bump

Kentucky saw a wave of new voter registrations following the 2024 General Election.

The Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office says 17,056 Kentuckians registered to vote following the re-opening of registration after the November 5 election. That number includes 2,470 registrations that were made while the voter rolls were closed from October 11 through Election Day.

The Secretary of State’s Office says 9,901 voters were removed from the rolls in November. This includes 6,924 deceased voters, 1,431 that moved out of state, and 1,015 convicted felons.

Republican registrations rose by 10,096 voters in November, while independent or other registrations increased by 2,839. Democratic registrations dropped by 5,987 voters.

Statewide turnout in the November 5 election was about 59 percent, with about 2,087,000 Kentuckians casting ballots.
