Clermont, Kentucky Public Records

The Kentucky State Board of Elections offers a secure online portal at govoteky.com, while in-person registration is available at the Bullitt County Clerk's office, Kentucky Driver Licensing offices, or by submitting a paper form through the mail. Registration must be completed 29 days before any election. Applicants need to be U.S. Citizens, Kentucky residents, at least 18 years old by the next general election, and not currently serving a felony sentence - voting rights automatically restore upon sentence completion in Kentucky. While valid identification isn't required for registration, applicants should provide their Social Security number and Kentucky driver's license or ID number when available. As an unincorporated community, Clermont holds no municipal elections for local offices. Instead, residents participate in county, state, and federal contests. Bullitt County elects constitutional officers including County Judge/Executive, Sheriff, County Clerk, County Attorney, Jailer, Coroner, and Property Valuation Administrator, all partisan positions with four-year terms. The next round of county officer elections is scheduled for November 2026. The county also elects three County Commissioners (magistrates) from separate districts to serve on the Fiscal Court, which functions as the legislative body. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the online tool at govoteky.com. By entering their name and date of birth, residents can view registration status, precinct assignment, polling location address, and sample ballots for upcoming contests. Kentucky polls operate from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time on Election Day. The community has multiple precincts depending on where residents live, with voting typically conducted at local schools, community centers, or fire stations. Public election records in Kentucky include voter registration lists, which qualified requesters can purchase, along with campaign finance reports filed through the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, candidate filings and financial disclosures, and certified results broken down by precinct.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Bullitt County demonstrated strong Republican turnout consistent with the area's conservative voting patterns. The county cast approximately 50,000 ballots in the presidential race, with turnout around 60-65% of registered voters. Local voters overwhelmingly supported the Republican presidential candidate, reflecting the region's political lean. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Clermont and Bullitt County voters will weigh in on several significant races. At the federal level, Kentucky's U.S. Senate seat currently held by Mitch McConnell will not be on the ballot in 2026 (next up in 2026 is Rand Paul's seat, which is scheduled for 2028; McConnell's seat is up in 2026). All six of Kentucky's U.S. House members will be on the ballot, with the community falling in Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District. At the state level, 2026 is not a gubernatorial election year in Kentucky - the next Governor's race occurs in 2027 - but all 100 seats in the Kentucky House of Representatives and approximately half of the 38 Kentucky Senate seats will be contested. Local voters participate in state legislative elections for their respective House and Senate districts. Critically, 2026 will feature elections for all Bullitt County constitutional officers including County Judge/Executive, Sheriff, County Clerk, and County Attorney, as these offices are elected in even-numbered years between presidential elections. Voters will also elect their Fiscal Court magistrate representative. Kentucky offers absentee voting for those who meet specific criteria under KRS 117.085.
