LEXINGTON, Ky. — For the first time in recent memory, Kentucky voters have a chance to weigh in on the future of abortion access in the state this November.
There are two constitutional amendment questions on the Nov. 8 ballot that require a “yes” or “no” vote. Both would give lawmakers more control in different ways.
Constitutional Amendment No. 1 — wordy and running almost the full length of the ballot sheet — will ask voters if they want to drop constitutional rules that end regular legislative sessions in early spring and allow lawmakers to call members back for 12 additional businesses days later in the year. Currently, the governor is the only person who can call a special session.
