How do I find my polling place in Kentucky?
All registered voters in the commonwealth can use the Kentucky State Board of Elections’ voter record search to get specific information about their registration, including your precinct.
You’ll be asked to enter your first and last name and date of birth, and can enter the last four digits of your social security number. Use your precinct information to find your polling place using the state’s search function or spreadsheet, which is sorted by county.
You can also see if your county clerk has a voter search function to look up your registration and polling place information. If you’re a Lexington resident, the Fayette County clerk’s office offers one.
