Voter Registration, Voter Removals Both Up in June

Frankfort – Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that in June, Kentucky’s voter registration jumped, but the voter rolls grew by just 670 when factoring in the removal of 9,348 ineligible voters.

“While over 10,000 voters registered in June, our biggest monthly number since November 2022, registration is flat for the month due to diligent work to remove ineligible voters,” Adams said.
