Kentucky's general election is now less than a month away and time is running out to register to vote.

The deadline to register is tomorrow, October the 10th.

Excused Absentee voting begins October 25th.

Early voting begins Thursday, November 2nd and runs through Saturday.

November the fourth.

Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams, who himself is on the ballot this year, gives his predictions on voter turnout in next month's election in Kentucky.

We typically have about 60% of registered voters vote in a general election for president and about 40% of voters vote in a non-presidential general election.

That's what we had last November, about 41%.

We were 42% in November 2019.

I think we'll be somewhere in the low forties.

It's hard to say.

We'll have a better sense of that when we have more absentee ballot requests come in.

We'll be able to tie that to extrapolate, come up with a hard number later.

Is that pretty typical in a gubernatorial election year?

Yeah, actually, 42% was seen as high in 2019.

That was that was pretty good.

So it tends to be a little lower.

And I will tell you this to our offices done a study will be releasing soon about voting in Kentucky and civic health and some other metrics.

And what we found is increasingly, Kentuckians are getting less of their news from from local sources, from newspapers, from local television, and more from cable.

And that comes with some problems.

And one of the problems is cable news doesn't cover who is governor or that there's an election for governor or secretary of state or any of that.

And so we've seen a lot of decline in awareness of these state elections.

And that may hurt the turnout as well.

I hope not.

You can register to vote as well as find out where you're voting Precinct will be by visiting.
