The Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office is asking registered voters to check their mailboxes for postcards sent by the State Board of Elections this week.
As required by federal and state law, election officials are issuing correspondence to the nearly 400,000 voters on the state’s inactive voter list, to verify voters’ information and to begin the removal process for registered voters who have moved out-of-state, according to Secretary of State Michael Adams.
Since 2018, Kentucky has been under a federal court consent decree requiring it to conduct regular voter registration list maintenance practices, including the issuance of correspondence to the inactive voter list.
