In the November 2024 presidential election, Larue County saw strong voter turnout with approximately 60-65% of registered voters casting ballots, consistent with other rural Kentucky counties. The county showed significant support for Republican candidates, typical of the region. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters in Magnolia and throughout Larue County will decide several important races. While Kentucky does not have U.S. Senate seats up for election in 2026 (Kentucky's Senate seats are next up in 2026 for the junior senator), all 100 Kentucky State House of Representatives seats will be on the ballot, as representatives serve two-year terms. Depending on the district cycle, Kentucky State Senate seats may also appear, since senators serve four-year terms with staggered elections. County-level offices that may be contested in 2026 depend on the specific election cycle for each position - some county offices are elected in odd-numbered years or on different four-year cycles. The Larue County Clerk can confirm which local offices will appear on the November 2026 ballot. Kentucky offers absentee voting for voters meeting certain qualifications under KRS 117.085, including voters who will be absent from the county on election day, students attending school outside the county, voters with disabilities, voters who are ill or injured, voters whose employment hours prevent in-person voting, voters who are incarcerated but not yet convicted, and voters who must care for sick or disabled individuals. Absentee ballot applications must reach the Larue County Clerk by the statutory deadline, typically the Monday before the election for mail ballots, or earlier for ballots that need to be mailed out. The state also offers early in-person voting at designated locations during a limited period before election day.
