SUMMARY: Kentucky’s gubernatorial succession is outlined but vague in its details. If Governor Andy Beshear wins reelection, Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman would assume gubernatorial powers, though it’s unclear if she would be considered Governor or Acting Governor. Secretary of State Michael Adams interprets that she would be the Acting Governor, as the state constitution does not allow for a new Lieutenant Governor appointment while Coleman is in office. Historical precedent exists from 1974, and legal disputes are anticipated regarding whether a successor should be appointed or a special election held. The state constitution specifies elected officials serve four-year terms.
