Register to Vote!

by KFTC Staff last modified May-15-2006 01:52 PM

Kentuckians For The Commonwealth empowers people to make a difference in their community through public education, lobbying elected officials, and many other means, but none of these are as basic as registering and voting in elections. 


How To Register


If you are uncertain whether you are registered to vote or unsure if you are registered to vote at your current address, please visit the Kentucky Voter Information Center

You can register in-person at your local County Clerk’s office.

Or, register by mail.  You can download a Kentucky voter registration card here.  Simply print this form, fill it out, and email it to your local County Clerk  or mail it to the State Board of Elections at: 

State Board of Elections
140 Walnut St.
Frankfort, KY 40601-3240


Voter Eligibility

To be eligible to register to vote, a person must:

  • Be a U.S. citizen
  •  Be a resident of Kentucky not less than 28 days before the election
  •  Be at least 18 years old by the date of the next General Election
  •  Not be a convicted felon (or, if so, have had your civil rights restored)
  •  Not have been judged mentally incompetent in a court of law
  •  Not claim the right to vote anywhere outside Kentucky

* Minors 17 years of age who will become 18 by the November general election are eligible to vote in the prior May primary election only.
