More KY voters are registering as Independent

From Michon Lindstrom

Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that Kentuckians registered under "other" political affiliations have bested Republican and Democratic registrations combined for three straight months.

"As the Democrats move further left and the Republicans move further right, more voters are registering as Independent," said Adams. "Kentucky has a large and growing political center; candidates should take note and court this growing bloc of voters."


In May, 4,157 voters were removed, including 3,173 who were deceased, 440 who moved out of state, 402 convicted felons, 65 who voluntarily de-registered, 49 voters adjudged mentally incompetent, and 28 duplicate registrations.

Republican registration constitutes 47 percent of the electorate, with 1,582,699 voters. Republican registration gained by 1,026, a .07 percent increase. Democratic registration accounts for 42 percent of the electorate, with 1,391,172 voters. Democratic registration fell by 838, a .06 percent decrease. There are 361,168 voters registered under other political affiliations, making up 11 percent of the electorate. Other party registration jumped by 1,352, a .38 percent increase.
