Primary election voting date is May 17, 2022. Two of the many things we learned in 2020 are that time passes quickly and our votes do count!! So start now. Contact your friends and relatives and encourage them and help them register to vote at http://govoteky.com or Kentucky Voting Information (vote411.org). Kentucky is currently offering free voter ID cards , if needed, at any Driver Licensing Regional Office.
The primary election matters. When we vote, we’re choosing what kind of Kentucky we want to call home. Kentucky's May primary includes elections for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, state legislature and many county, city, and judicial elections.
Monday, April 18 was the voter registration deadline. Please take a moment to check your voter registration at www.GoVoteKY.com to make sure you’re registered where you’re living now. And ask your friends and family to check their voter registrations too.
Election Day itself is May 17, 6am to 6pm. There won’t be broad voting by mail this election, but if you meet one of the eligibility requirements (if you’re away from your county during voting days, unable to vote in person because of age, disability, or illness, a voter who is incarcerated in jail who has been charged with a crime but has yet to be convicted of the crime, etc.), you can request a mail-in ballot at www.GoVoteKY.com before 11:59 pm on May 3rd. The County Clerk has to receive your returned ballot by 6:00 pm May17th. If the voter doesn't have internet access, they should call their County Clerk's office for assistance.
Every registered Kentuckian will have the chance to vote early May 12, 13, or 14 in person from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., usually at one or more vote centers in your county. Reach out to your local County Clerk’s office to learn where, for example: Fayette County Clerk | Lexington, KY | Elections and Polling Locations - State Board of Elections (ky.gov)
200,000 Kentuckians with felonies in their past won the right to vote again a few years ago, but largely have not been informed that they can now vote. You can find out if you or a friend of yours recently got your right to vote back at Check Your Status - Civil Rights Restoration (kentucky.gov)

Join the LWV of Lexington's Virtual Community Forum "Voting in the 2022 Primary Election" where Fayette County Clerk, Don Blevins Jr. will be clarifying what voters need to know to be able to vote in the Primary on May 17 on April 21st 7-8 pm.

It is vital to stay informed about voter registration and to verify your status early to ensure your voice is heard in every election. Civic engagement is a fundamental part of a thriving community, and the work Lex NAACP does to provide these resources is essential for empowering citizens. Taking the time to participate in the democratic process reflects a commitment to a better future and shows that we value making informed, high quality choices in our lives. This same dedication to authenticity and integrity is something that carries over into our personal lifestyle decisions as well. I have always appreciated how brands like LVH Leather prioritize fine craftsmanship by offering pieces that are built to last for years. Their…
The reminder to double-check voter registration status before heading to the polls really stood out, especially since it’s something many people assume is already sorted. It’s interesting how small administrative steps like that can end up having a big impact on whether someone actually gets to vote. I found myself wondering how many people only realize there’s an issue at the last minute. It also reflects how important it is to stay on top of details in different areas of life, where people sometimes turn to structured support, even in unrelated contexts like using an MBA Dissertation helper Online when they’re trying to stay organized.
Loved how this piece speaks to us owning our voice and being present so often I felt behind the curve in my job search, rewriting and re-rewriting my CV while trying to juggle everything else. Eventually, I found myself turning to affordable resume writing services to lift the load not as a shortcut, but as a way to hand over the busywork so I could actually reflect on what I wanted to say and how I wanted to show up. It gave me room to breathe, to refocus, and ultimately to step into the process with more confidence. Thanks for the reminder that being prepared and intentional matters.
I appreciated the “Check. Vote.” post it’s a strong reminder of the power and responsibility in civic participation. While preparing for an online exam in public policy, I even considered using application essay proofreading service tools to polish my arguments around voter engagement. That search introduced me to exam helper resources that helped strengthen my reasoning and clarity instead of just offering ready-made answers.
