LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentuckians took advantage of early voting ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.
Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams said 82,099 Kentuckians voted on Saturday. That's up around 1,000 voters since the same day last year.
Yesterday, 82,099 KY voters took advantage of Saturday voting, up from 81,150 the same day in 2022. Overall, 260,324 voters used early voting, up from 253,018 the same period in 2022. Absentees are down from 2022 though, so I still believe turnout will be around last year's 42%.
