One week from Tuesday Kentucky voters will cast their votes for a number of statewide offices. Even with three days of early voting this week and excused absence voting, the vast majority of votes will be cast on May 16th. Still, voter turnout is projected statewide at about 15%. Jenn Jackson is chair of voter services with the League of Women Voters of Kentucky. She said getting voters 18 to 29 to cast ballots can be a challenge.
“I hear sometimes that young voters are like well candidates aren’t talking about the things that I’m interested in. And my response to that is, when you start showing up to the poll, candidates are gonna start gearing their messages towards the things that you are interested in, because they are really catering to the people they know are gonna go out and vote,” said Jackson.
