Kentucky’s Primary Election Day is Tuesday, June 23. Due to the COVID pandemic, you are now able to request an absentee ballot online at GOVOTEKY.com and have it sent to your house to vote. A pre-addressed envelope with postage will be included. The absentee ballot online request takes 2 minutes to fill out. Simply fill it out, hit submit and the ballot should arrive in the mail in a few days. The deadline to request a ballot is June 15 at 11:59 p.m., local time.
Please act now.

If you plan to vote in-person, most Kentucky counties will only have one voting location. For Jefferson County, the State Fairgrounds is the only location. Expect long lines with social distancing and parking and the weather may play a factor. Please consider the absentee ballot option as a viable way to vote and avoid crowds during this time. Please make your voice heard at the ballot box and vote.
Attached are the primary endorsements from the Kentucky State Building and Construction Trades Council. Not every race received an endorsement. Please consider voting for the labor endorsed candidates.
