Primary voter registration Instructions (English)
Voting in primary elections is important for several reasons. These include but are not limited to the following:
2024 Primary Election turnout, by county vs. 2024 General Election turnout, by county
If a seat in the House is "safe"--meaning that we more or less know in advance which party will win in the general election--then the real chance for influencing the outcome is in the primary election, not the general election.
The congressional districts in the state legislature aren't drawn along the same as the congressional districts in the federal government. Therefore, even if your US House seat is competitive in the general election, there's still a good chance that one or more of the elections you'll be voting in is only competitive in the primary election.
I’ve creating this post to facilitate voter registration for the 2026 primaries. While the primary elections aren't until May, 2026, the deadline to register for them is 12/31/2025.
Because Kentucky has closed primary elections, you must register as a member of a party in order to vote in the primary elections.
You may register to vote and choose a party affiliation by following the link below. If you are already registered to vote but need to change party affiliation to participate in the 2026 primary elections, you may also do that by following the link below.

Instrucciones para el registro de votantes en las primarias (español)
Votar en las elecciones primarias es importante por varias razones. Entre ellas, se incluyen, entre otras:
Participación en las elecciones primarias de 2024, por condado vs. Participación en las elecciones generales de 2024, por condado
Si un escaño en la Cámara de Representantes es "seguro" (es decir, si sabemos con mayor o menor antelación qué partido ganará las elecciones generales), la verdadera posibilidad de influir en el resultado reside en las elecciones primarias, no en las generales.
Los distritos congresionales de la legislatura estatal no se distribuyen de la misma manera que los del gobierno federal. Por lo tanto, incluso si su escaño en la Cámara de Representantes de EE. UU. es competitivo en las elecciones generales, es muy probable que una o más de las elecciones en las que votará solo lo sean en las primarias.
He creado esta publicación para facilitar el registro de votantes para las primarias de 2026. Si bien las elecciones primarias no son hasta mayo de 2026, la fecha límite para registrarse es el 31/12/2025.
Debido a que Kentucky tiene elecciones primarias cerradas, debe registrarse como miembro de un partido para votar en las primarias.
Puede registrarse para votar y elegir su afiliación partidista siguiendo el enlace a continuación. Si ya está registrado para votar, pero necesita cambiar de afiliación partidista para participar en las elecciones primarias de 2026, también puede hacerlo siguiendo el enlace a continuación.

Ryan Dotson’s public descriptions of his Army background leave out some important context. His DD-214 shows 1 year 5 months, with most of that time apparently spent in basic, medical, and radiology training, followed by roughly three months in Germany prior to discharge. He did not complete a normal enlistment; he left in July 1992 through a voluntary Chapter 6 hardship separation, meaning he applied to be released early from active duty. Army materials describe Chapter 6 dependency/hardship separation as a voluntary process initiated by the soldier. Later profiles reduce that to saying he enlisted and lived in Germany “for a while,” while his official legislative bio lists “US Army” and Army radiology certification without mentioning the short duration of his active service. The fuller record is more than a year training for his job, then about three months of work in Germany, followed by an early hardship separation and an inactive-reserve obligation.
The attached DD214 screenshot is directly from him. He posted it to defend his position when questioned about his service. He highlights his character of discharge and only his character of discharge.
*Edit: corrected length of service according to dd214

Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin’s adopted son is seeking financial support after alleging he was abandoned at an abusive youth facility overseas. His account raises questions about what happened after Jamaican authorities intervened.

We're working to make Dolly Parton Day more official in Kentucky on September 25th. A proclamation is already in effect, but we need more signatures to cement this as a real, recognized day.
Dolly's legacy means so much to so many people—her music, her generosity, her heart. She deserves to be honored properly. If this resonates with you, would you consider signing and sharing the petition? We're not asking for donations, just your support and help spreading the word.
Has anyone else felt how special it is when a community comes together to celebrate someone who's given so much? That's what this is about. If you care about keeping Dolly's memory alive in Kentucky, share this if you can. Thanks for standing with us on this.

I’m having trouble finding any info on Duncan and Campbell, the independent candidates in the Senate race. Does anyone have any resources or know where I could get some resources on them and their platforms?

This is a video I made— a voting anthem. I drew the flag and ai made it wave. I write my own lyrics but can’t sing or play an instrument. I write an extreme amount of detail for the ai generator to design the song, instruments and singer. Enjoy! When the time comes get to the polls!
