Ongoing efforts to update voter registration lists persist, with more individuals being dropped from the voter rolls than added during March

Intense upkeep of voter lists persists, with a higher number of voters eliminated compared to those added in March.

In the month of March, the Kentucky voter registration roll was overseen by Michael Adams, who has held the office of Secretary of State since 2018. The Secretary of State's office announced a decrease in the total number of voters, with more voters removed than added.

The largest increase was seen in the 'Other' registration category, with 1,181 additional voters, equating to a .33% rise. This growth was counterbalanced by a .02% decline in the Democratic registration, which saw a decrease of 248 voters. Conversely, the Republican registration experienced a slight increase of 157 voters, amounting to a .01% growth.

The Democratic registration continues to account for 42% of the electorate, with 1,393,475 voters. The Republican registration makes up 47% of the electorate, with 1,580,933 voters. The number of voters registered under 'Other' political affiliations stands at 358,492, constituting 11% of the electorate.

A breakdown of the removed voters reveals that 4,656 were deceased, 1,698 were duplicate registrations, 408 were felony convicts, 196 moved out of state, 75 were adjudged mentally incompetent, and 39 voluntarily de-registered.

It is worth noting that federal oversight of Kentucky's voter rolls was lifted since 2018 due to the demonstrated commitment to election integrity by the Secretary of State's office. This commitment has been instrumental in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the voter rolls in the state.
