WKMS has a roundup of results from the 2026 Election for Kentucky's westernmost counties from federal, state and local races.

Voting rights and electronic privacy groups are suing the Department of Homeland Security for compiling sensitive data on Kentucky voters. State election officials have refused to share that information.

WKMS provides readers and listeners in far western Kentucky with coverage of contested races for Congress, the state legislature and several local leadership offices that are up for grabs on Nov. 3.

Kentucky Democrats have lost ground to Republicans over the past decade, but gained a rare voter registration victory last month, ahead of the November election.

In another loss for the U.S. Department of Justice, a federal judge dismissed their lawsuit attempting to gain access to sensitive Kentucky voter registration information.

LPM News uncovered that voters from more than 1,800 households may have cast incorrect ballots due to an error by the Jefferson County Clerk’s office. In some instances, this affected where they voted and which representatives they were able to vote for.

The Jefferson County Clerk's office may need additional funding from Louisville Metro to complete an audit of precinct assignments for nearly 600,000 addresses.

Hoping to vote in Kentucky’s primary elections next month? Time’s running out to get registered.

A bill passed the Kentucky House adding more voter citizenship verification, okaying more partisanship in judicial races and letting federal officeholders show up twice on the ballot.

An elections omnibus that would allow nonpartisan judicial candidates to talk about their party affiliation, add new federal citizenship verification processes and a whole lot more has passed a committee vote.
