Kentucky officials debunk false claims about closed polls today

Kentucky residents were left confused today as they received calls about polls being closed, despite no elections taking place in the state. Secretary of State Michael Adams clarified the situation on X, confirming that Kentucky is not voting today.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams took to X to clear up the confusion, stating that Kentucky is not holding any elections today. The state is not voting for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia, as those elections are scheduled for next year. Kentucky last voted in the 2024 presidential election.

Since Michael Adams took office, there have been no changes in Kentucky legislation regarding the voting rights of non-citizens in New York City and Virginia elections. The calls about closed polls are likely due to misunderstandings about today's voting schedule.

Kentucky residents are advised to disregard calls about polls being closed today, as no elections are taking place in the state. They are encouraged to mark their calendars for the upcoming elections in New York City and Virginia, scheduled for next year.
