Welcome to your "Get It Right" guide to the primary elections on May, 19th, 2026. Primaries are a key part of the democratic process, giving voters the chance to choose which candidates will advance to the general election. Due to changes approved in 2024 by the Kentucky General Assembly, the candidates' party affiliation will not be listed. No more "Democrat" or "Republican" or "Independent" on the ballot. Our guide offers clear, partisan information about the races on the ballot, and answers to a series of questions that impact our community.

Local elections shape everyday life, from schools and public safety to infrastructure and economic growth. By taking part in the primary and voting for your candidates, you help decide which voices and priorities move forward. Use this "Get it Right" guide, to get informed, compare candidates, and head to the polls prepared.
