Kentucky makes several types of election records publicly accessible: voter registration lists available for purchase for political purposes, campaign finance reports filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance at kref.ky.gov, candidate filing information, and precinct-level election results. Unofficial results are typically posted on election night on the Boone County Clerk's website, with certified results available within days. In the November 2024 presidential election, Boone County had approximately 72% voter turnout, with over 92,000 ballots cast out of roughly 128,000 registered voters, reflecting strong civic engagement. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters in the area will decide several important races. Kentucky will hold elections for all six U.S. House seats (the city is in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, currently represented by Thomas Massie), all 100 Kentucky House of Representatives seats, and half of the 38 Kentucky State Senate seats depending on district cycle. Boone County offices up for election in 2026 include County Judge/Executive, Sheriff, County Clerk, Jailer, and Coroner, all serving four-year terms. There are no U.S. Senate or gubernatorial elections in Kentucky in 2026—the next Governor's race is 2027, and U.S. Senate seats are contested in 2026 for Senator Mitch McConnell's seat. Voters will also decide on any state constitutional amendments or local ballot questions that may be placed before them. Kentucky offers absentee voting for specific reasons including age 65 or older, illness or disability, military service, students attending school outside the county, and election officials working on Election Day. Absentee ballot applications must be requested from the Boone County Clerk and returned by the first Tuesday before the election for mail ballots or in person during early voting. Kentucky implemented excuse-required absentee voting and does not have universal vote-by-mail, but recent legislation expanded early in-person voting to three days before elections at the Boone County Clerk's office.
