Protecting Democracy

The Commonwealth Voter Campaign, paid for by the American Civil Liberties Union, is working to make sure Kentuckians have the accurate information they need to cast their ballots with confidence and make their voices heard. We’re mobilizing voters, volunteers, and communities across Kentucky to participate, encourage others to vote, and vote like their rights depend on it. Because the decisions made at the ballot box shape our rights, our communities, and the future of our democracy.

EARLY VOTING IS NOW OPEN IN KENTUCKY!

All registered Kentucky voters who have not requested a mail-in absentee ballot may vote early in person without providing a reason.

When: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before Election Day.
Polls must be open at least eight hours each day between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Your county’s board of elections sets the exact hours.

Where: Your county clerk’s office or another location your county board of elections designates.

Vote Like Your Rights Depend on It!

Voting is about more than choosing candidates. It is one of the clearest ways we shape the laws, policies, and priorities that affect our everyday lives.

From free speech and privacy to reproductive freedom LGBTQ+ rights, criminal justice, and access to the ballot itself, the people we elect make decisions that can protect our freedoms or put them at risk.

That is why every election matters. Know what is at stake. Make a plan to vote. Encourage the people in your life to do the same.

Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Use both.
