From a press release from the office of Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky’s Secretary of State-
Kentucky’s county boards of elections have reported their official vote totals for the Nov. 6 General Election to Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. The deadline was Friday at noon.
“The reporting of counties’ official vote totals is the first of several steps to close out the General Election at the state level,” said Grimes, Kentucky’s chief election official. “I want to thank all of our county boards of elections, and especially the precinct election officials across the Commonwealth, who have helped us deliver another successful General Election.”
The deadline to request a recanvass in any race was Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. local time. County boards of elections involved in conducting the recanvass will meet Thursday, Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. local time to conduct the process, which is a check of vote totals from each voting machine and absentee ballots. Kentucky law requires county boards of elections to contact candidates involved in the recanvass to inform them of the time and place of the recanvass.
Recanvasses will be conducted in the following races for which Grimes has received requests:
- State Representative, District 13 (Daviess County)
- State Representative, District 27 (Hardin and Meade Counties)
