The general election is just 73 days away.

In Kentucky, two constitutional amendments are on the ballot.

Yesterday, we discussed Amendment two, which, if passed, could allow the Kentucky General Assembly to authorize public money for private schools.

Amendment One deals with voting specifically if passed, it would prohibit non-citizens from voting in state and local elections.

Yesterday, at a legislative meeting at the Kentucky State Fair, state lawmakers pressed election officials about whether it's possible for non-citizens to cast a ballot in Kentucky elections.

Here is more from Kentucky Edition's Clayton Dalton.

The Kentucky State Fair is more than phone rides and fried foods.

It's also the venue for a few summer legislative meetings.

State lawmakers from both chambers convene to discuss voting in Kentucky elections, particularly whether non-citizens can find a way to participate.

Is there any way that a non citizen, from your perspective and the process that you're involved in, is there any way for a noncitizen to be able to vote?

From my perspective.

From your roles and responsibilities.

Your responsibilities?

Absolutely not.

You have to have a Social Security number to be even entered into the VRA system.

It's against the law to give a driver's license I.D.

out without being a citizen of the United States.

And not Kentucky.

So Kentucky does have the law in place.

So for us, when we see the driver's license come through, we we feel confident that that person is a resident of the state of Kentucky.

So you said driver's license, but there's also the I.D.

as well.

And so is there a way for someone to get an I.D.

and for them to use that for for the voter registration process.

Just the same from knowledge, the same standard applies.

But I will say for for our county and most counties, I think we did a study that was 98% of the people that checked in.

Further, further ballot use their driver's license.

So that was by and large, the the most that we see is the Kentucky driver's license.

The line of questioning is tied to one of Kentucky's constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot this November.

Amendment one, if passed by the voters, will explicitly bar non-citizens from voting in any state or local elections.

Some legislators worry there are loopholes in current law that could allow non-citizens to vote.

Green card holders who are here legally.

And I think everybody agrees ought to be able to drive and ought to be able to have a Social Security number.

So they work.

They all have the.

So if you're relying upon driver's licenses or Social Security numbers, that's not an accurate representation of who can actually vote.

When you go to a driver's license, I mean, if if they are putting in the prompt where you have your birth record documentation, you have documentation where you became a U.S. citizen, that prompts a registration for voters to fill out the information.

If you're coming in with a green card or a visa that gives you the permission to drive on U.S. roads.

It does not the system will not prompt the driver's light or the voter registration card to come up.

If voters approve Amendment one, Kentucky will join a growing list of states in directly prohibiting non-citizens from voting in any and all elections.

For Kentucky Edition, I'm Clayton Dalton.

Thank you, clayton.

Testifying in a committee meeting earlier this summer, Secretary of State Michael Adams, kentucky's chief election official, said in his tenure, his office has, quote, seen no evidence that non-citizens have voted or attempted to vote in our elections and quote, the Democratic National Convention is over.

The tickets are set by Babbage and Trey Grayson will join me in just a few minutes to discuss the campaign season ahead.

And we'll discuss national politics Monday night on Kentucky tonight with political leaders and consultants and both parties.

So join us Monday night at eight Eastern, seven Central right here on KCET.
