The Kentucky Secretary of State on Friday announced voter registration remained strong in the last month of 2024, with 9,324 voters registering in December.

In December, 4,962 voters were removed from the rolls – 4,034 deceased voters, 505 felony convicts, 234 who moved out of state, 98 duplicate registrations, 56 who voluntarily de-registered, and 35 who were adjudged mentally incompetent.
Republican registrants account for 47 percent of the electorate, with 1,674,447 voters. Republican registration rose by 5,263 voters, a .32 percent increase.
Democratic registrants make up 42 percent of the electorate, with 1,499,867 voters. Democratic registration fell by 2,970 voters, a .20 percent decrease.
