Reminder: Two elections coming up
The League of Women Voters works to alert citizens about two opportunities to engage in the democratic process.
Kentucky Republicans can vote in the March 5 Republican Presidential Caucus. The caucus is a new and unfamiliar process for Kentucky, and we want to be sure citizens understand this will be the only opportunity for Republicans to cast their ballot for Republican presidential candidates.
Kentucky voters must have been registered as Republicans by Dec. 31 to be eligible to vote in the caucus, which will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Voting locations differ from usual polling places, so check the Republican Party website (rpk.org/caucus/) for the location in your county.
Primary elections for all other candidates will be held May 17.
A special election will be held on March 8 to fill a vacancy in Kentucky House of Representatives District 62, which covers Owen County and parts of Scott and Fayette counties. All registered voters may vote in this special election. Voters should contact their county clerks for more information.
Be sure your voice counts. Vote in the March 5 caucus and March 8 special election.
