SUMMARY: Secretary of State Michael Adams anticipates higher voter turnout in this election compared to 2020, citing a 58% increase in absentee ballot requests and a 164% rise in early voting participants. He urges voters to utilize early voting this week to avoid crowding on Election Day. Adams notes that it’s essential to manage a steady flow of several hundred thousand voters daily to ensure a smooth process. On Election Day, polls will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and anyone in line by closing time will have their vote counted.

Kentucky expects high turnout for the election.
