About these numbers

These are the early vote counts published by the Kentucky State Board of Elections. GovGalaxy shows the state's own figures. We don't estimate, adjust, or project them.

What's counted. Early in-person ballots, mail ballots returned and mail ballots requested, as Kentucky defines them. Mail ballots returned include military and overseas ballots. In-person absentee and early voting are added as the State Board reports them.

Dates. Numbers are current to October 31, 2026, as reported by the state. The State Board posts a dated turnout file. Excused in-person absentee voting runs October 21 to 23 and 26 to 28; no-excuse early voting runs October 29 to 31. We check for updates twice a day. States update on their own schedules and sometimes revise earlier numbers.

Ballots, not votes. These numbers show how many ballots have been cast or returned. They don't show who anyone voted for, and they aren't results.

Party registration. Kentucky doesn't report early voters by party, so we don't show party. Party splits for Kentucky that appear elsewhere are estimates, not official numbers.

Comparing states. States count and report early voting differently and on different days, so their totals aren't directly comparable.
