Kentucky: How to Vote, Where to Vote and What’s on the Ballot

The state’s Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, will try to fend off a challenge from Daniel Cameron, Kentucky’s Republican attorney general, on Tuesday.

Mr. Beshear is an appealing target for Republicans in this staunchly Republican state, but his popularity may make him a tough opponent for Mr. Cameron, who is considered a rising star in the Republican Party.

How to vote

Polls in Kentucky will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time.

Voters will need a valid form of identification, like a driver’s license or Social Security card, to vote in person. Registration for this election has closed. Voters can check their status online here.

All absentee ballots must received by a county clerk by 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday, which means it is too late to return an absentee ballot by mail. Voters can hand-deliver their ballots to a drop box location until 6 p.m.
