GoVoteKy.com, the state’s first online voter registration system, gets 1.2 million visitors


Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced Wednesday that more than 1.2 million Kentuckians visited GoVoteKY.com, the Commonwealth’s first-ever online voter registration system.

Of those visitors, over 200,000 have updated their registration with 79,448 registering to vote for the first time.
 
“Yesterday, on National Voter Registration Day, over 5,000 Kentuckians updated their registration or registered to vote for the first time,” said Grimes, Kentucky’s Chief Election Official. “This November our constitutional officers are on the ballot and my hope is that voters show up at the polls on Election Day.”

On the heels of approximately 175,000 Kentucky voters’ records being designated as “inactive” by the State Board of Elections, Grimes has raised concerns to the State Board of Elections that many of these “inactive” voters voted as early as the 2018 General Election. 

“With the State Board of Elections designating voters as inactive or active, it’s important that Kentucky voters go review and update their registration,” said Grimes. 

The deadline to register to vote in the 2019 General Election on November 5th is Monday, October 7th.
 
Despite Secretary Grimes’ request, GoVoteKY.com does not display an “inactive” or “active” status. Voters should call the State Board of Elections at 502-573-7100, with any questions.

  1. I WANT TO VOTE ANDY BESHEAR NOV 3 AND I GOT POST CARD TO MAIL TODAY. I DONT DRIVE I DONT HAVE NO WAY GET THERE

    1. go to govoteky.com and click on absentee ballot to fill our the request. It just takes a few minutes — and you have to do it before June 15.

    1. Card tells you. Assuming you are registered to vote already (it’s too late for the primary), go to govoteky.com and follow the link. Just takes a few minutes, especially if you have a drivers’ license.

  2. I went to request online (GoVoteKY.com) for the absentee vote, Once I put my information in, I got a message that stated “BAD NEWS”. KY has made it illegal for third party groups to provide or distribute absentee ballot applications. Then it gave me a phone number to call to proceed with the process. Unfortunately, I was registering after hours and it was the last day to do that.
    It is the 27th of May, and I am seeing Gov. Brashear and WKYT news providing the site to go on line and vote. However May 26th was the deadline. So, have t missed the deadline?

  3. I want to get a ballot to vote by mail, but can’t figure out what to do?
    Please help!!

  4. How do I register to vote online? You have so much information on here and none of it tells me what I need to vote!1

  5. How do we know who it really is that is registering to vote? Democrats have a long history of cheating. In Biden’s words “We won anyway didn’t we”? When asked about cheating.
