Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that 11,835 voters were removed from Kentucky’s voter rolls last month, including 10,693 deceased voters. Looking at September 2021 vs. 2020, there were still more voters registered as Democrat than Republican but the gap narrowed locally and statewide.
Overall voter registration declined by 5,226 voters. While 6,609 new registrations were logged, 11,835 registrations were canceled — 10,693 deceased voters, 706 voters who moved out of state, 369 felony convicts, 40 voters adjudged mentally incompetent, and 27 voters who voluntarily de-registered.
“I’m proud that Kentuckians have confidence in our election officials and our election process,” Adams said. “They can rest assured that we act vigorously to remove avenues to election fraud.”
Both in Daviess County and statewide, the number of Democratic registrants dropped while Republican registrants increased compared to this time a year ago. There are still more registered Democrats than Republicans locally and statewide.
