Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is predicting a 31 percent voter turnout for Tuesday’s general election.
She says there are 3,451,537 people registered to vote in Kentucky and she based her turnout prediction on absentee voting.
Secretary Grimes says, “It’s simply not ok that only a small portion of Kentuckians will possibly elect our next constitutional officers. Our democracy depends on people showing up to the polls to make their voices heard. I challenge all registered voters to get up, get out and get loud and exercise their right to vote on Tuesday.”
Just under 31 percent of Kentucky voters turned out for the 2015 general election—the last time the Commonwealth chose its state constitutional officers.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday across Kentucky.
