Secretary of State Michael Adams announced Kentucky saw an increase in voter registration across all categories in April.
According to a news release, from April 1 through April 18, when voter registration closed in preparation for the primary election, registration increased by 2,657, with 5,839 new registrations, while 3,182 voters were removed including 2,671 deceased voters, 252 with felony convictions, 215 who moved out of state, 23 adjudged mentally incompetent, and 21 who voluntarily de-registered.
Adams says, “Although I’m disappointed in the low turnout for our primary election, I’m glad we saw a bump in voter registration and hope this interest continues as we approach November.”
