Because Campbellsburg is an unincorporated community with no municipal government, there are no city council or mayoral elections specific to the area. Instead, residents participate in county, state, and federal elections. Henry County holds elections for County Judge/Executive, County Clerk, Sheriff, Jailer, Coroner, Property Valuation Administrator, and magistrates for the Henry County Fiscal Court. These county constitutional offices appear on the ballot during Kentucky's regular election cycle, with most on the ballot in odd-numbered years such as 2023 and 2027. Local voters can find their assigned polling place using the Kentucky State Board of Elections' polling place lookup tool at elect.ky.gov or by contacting the Henry County Clerk's office directly. Assignments are based on residential address and precinct boundaries. On Election Day, polls across Kentucky open at 6:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM local time. Kentucky's Open Records Act and election laws ensure public access to numerous election records. Voter registration lists can be obtained through the State Board of Elections or County Clerk, though personal information such as Social Security numbers is redacted. Campaign finance reports for state and local candidates are available through the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance at kref.ky.gov, where contribution and expenditure reports can be searched by candidate or committee name. Candidate filing information, ballot measures, and precinct-level election results are public records available through the State Board of Elections and County Clerk. In the November 2024 presidential election, Henry County reported voter turnout of approximately 65-70% of registered voters, consistent with typical rural Kentucky turnout in presidential cycles.

Looking ahead to November 3, 2026 - the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November - voters in the area will decide several significant races. Kentucky does not have a gubernatorial election in 2026, as the Governor is elected in odd-numbered years, most recently 2023. However, 2026 is a federal midterm election year in which all U.S. House seats are contested. As part of Henry County, Campbellsburg sits in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, and residents will elect their U.S. Representative. One of Kentucky's U.S. Senate seats will also appear on the ballot in 2026, as Senate terms are six years and Kentucky's seats rotate election cycles. Numerous state legislature seats will be contested: all 100 Kentucky House of Representatives seats and half of the 38 Kentucky State Senate seats, since Senate terms are four years. Henry County voters will elect their representative to the Kentucky House, currently District 54, and may have a State Senate race depending on the cycle for their district, which is District 7. County constitutional officers such as County Clerk, Sheriff, and Judge/Executive are elected in odd-numbered years and will not appear on the 2026 ballot unless special elections are called to fill vacancies. Voters should check with the Henry County Clerk or the State Board of Elections closer to the election for confirmed candidates and any local ballot issues. Kentucky offers absentee voting, now called excuse-required absentee voting, and no-excuse early in-person voting.
