VRM in the States: Kentucky

May 25, 2012

Kentucky currently has the Electronic Registration at DMVs and Partially Electronic Registration at Public Service Agencies components of Voter Registration Modernization in place.

In Kentucky, DMVs electronically transfer all registration data to election officials. A paper signature is required for cross-county address changes and new registrations; however, if local officials fail to receive a signature before Election Day, the registrant may still seek authorization by phone from her County Board of Elections to vote a regular ballot.
