Ky. Sec. of State: More people registered to vote this year than in 2019

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams says there’s been an increase of people registering to vote in the state, in comparison to 2019.

According to a news release, 10,534 net new voters registered between October 1st and the 5th and November 4th through the 30th. Compare that to 2019, when 4,115 net new voters registered during those time frames.

From October 1st through 5th, eight new Democrats registered, 2,940 new Republicans registered, and 784 other voters registered. From November 4th through 30th, Democrats lost 1,814 voters, Republicans added 6,982 voters, and new other voters added 1,634.

Secretary Adams says, “We’ve seen, particularly after election day, a bump in voter registration. I hope this level of interest and enthusiasm stretches into 2021, a non-election year.”
