Deadline to Register in Nov 4th General Election is Oct. 6, 2014

By Lynn Sowads Zellen and Bradford Queen
News from the office Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes reminds eligible Kentuckians that the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming November 4 General Election is Monday, October 6, 2014.

County clerks' offices throughout Kentucky will accept voter registration cards until the close of business on that date. Mail-in voter registration applications must be postmarked by October 6, 2014.


Under the Military Heroes Voting Initiative, new legislation proposed and championed by Grimes, qualified military and overseas voters may now register to vote and update their registration information electronically through the State Board of Elections' new Federal Post Card Application Wizard. The Wizard, along with other resources for military and overseas voters, is available at www.elect.ky.gov. Applications submitted electronically must be received by the county clerk by close of business on October 6, 2014.

"Military voters often move from place to place, which can make it hard for them to maintain accurate voter registration records," said Grimes. "I'm excited that, for the first time in Kentucky, they can complete essential voter registration functions electronically. This initiative provides them valuable tools that will help ensure they have a meaningful opportunity to participate in elections back home."

Grimes is also reminding Kentuckians of other important voting laws:
  • To be eligible to vote, you must:
    • Be a U.S. citizen,
    • Be a Kentucky resident for at least 28 days before Election day,
    • Be at least 18 years old by the date of the next general election,
    • Not be a convicted felon, or if convicted of a felony offense, must have obtained a restoration of civil rights,
    • Not have been adjudged "mentally incompetent," and
    • Not claim the right to vote anywhere outside Kentucky.
  • Voters who have recently moved need to update their voter registration information by no later than October 6, 2014. Pursuant to KRS 116.025(6), individuals who move from one county to another county while the voter registration books are open and fail to update their registration information before the voter registration books close are not permitted to vote in the election.
  • Under the Secretary of State's recently established Address Confidentiality Program, victims of domestic violence and sexual assault can register and update their registration while keeping their names and addresses out of publicly available voter records.
"The future of Kentucky and our nation depend on all eligible voters participating in the process," said Grimes. "Registering to vote is the first step in being a part of the 2014 elections, and I hope that as many Kentuckians as are able will make their voices heard." You can check your current registration status on the Voter Information Center, https://cdcbp.ky.gov/VICWeb/index.jsp. To obtain a registration card or for more information about registering to vote, visit www.elect.ky.gov or contact your county clerk or the State Board of Elections at 502-573-7100.
