Primary election day is a dozen days away, but by then, many Kentuckians will have already voted. Secretary of State Michael Adams said the absentee ballot request portal closed Tuesday at midnight and he expects the final total to match last May’s – about 18-thousand. He said absentee requests are a good predictor of total turnout.
“In last year's primary, we had turnout of 14.5 percent. And so, since we're tracking with similar numbers and absentee requests to a year ago, I'd say that we'll probably end up around that around 15%. I wish it were higher.”
