Cub Run, Kentucky Public Records

Registration must be completed 29 days before any election. Eligible voters need to be U.S. Citizens, Kentucky residents, at least 18 years old by election day, and not currently serving a felony sentence - rights are automatically restored once the sentence is completed in Kentucky. As an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for local mayor or city council positions. Instead, residents vote in Hart County-wide races for County Judge/Executive, County Clerk, Sheriff, Jailer, County Attorney, Justices of the Peace for their magisterial district, and school board members for Hart County Schools. State legislative races include Kentucky House District 26 and Kentucky Senate District 16, both of which cover Hart County. During the November 3, 2020 presidential election, Hart County recorded approximately 60% voter turnout with roughly 6,800 ballots cast from approximately 11,500 registered voters, favoring Republican candidates in most races. The November 2024 election cycle showed similar turnout patterns with strong Republican performance in federal and state contests. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, voters in the area will decide several important races. Kentucky does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 - Mitch McConnell's term runs through 2026 and Rand Paul's through 2028 - but Kentucky state House and Senate members will be on the ballot, as state legislative seats follow four-year cycles with the next races in 2026. Hart County voters will also elect county constitutional officers including Sheriff and County Clerk, both four-year terms, plus potentially other county positions depending on the election cycle. Residents can find their assigned polling location through the Voter Information Center at elect.ky.gov or by contacting the Hart County Clerk's Office. Kentucky requires voter ID at the polls: acceptable forms include Kentucky driver's license, Social Security card, credit card with photo, or other government-issued identification. Absentee voting is available for specific reasons including age 65 or older, illness or disability, military service, temporary residence outside the county, election officer duty, incarceration if still eligible to vote, or religious holiday observance. Absentee ballot applications must reach the Hart County Clerk's Office by the second Tuesday before election day for mail ballots, or as late as the day before election day for in-person absentee voting at the Clerk's office. Kentucky offers early in-person voting beginning the Thursday before election day through the Saturday before election day. Public election records available in Kentucky include voter registration lists, which candidates and political parties can purchase with restrictions on use, campaign finance reports filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance at krefc.ky.gov, candidate filing information through the Secretary of State and county clerks, and precinct-level election results published by the State Board of Elections and posted at the Hart County Clerk's office after certification. Kentucky's election records and voter history are not freely searchable online by the general public, though individual voters can verify their own registration status and voting history through the elect.ky.gov portal.
