Every race, every candidate

All 203 candidates on the Secretary of State's official list for federal, statewide and legislative offices, each with a profile page. County offices, district judges and city races are listed on each county page.

U.S. Senate

No governor or other statewide executive office is on the ballot in Kentucky this year. Statewide, voters choose a U.S. senator and vote on one constitutional amendment. Kentucky's Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges are elected by district, in nonpartisan races.

U.S. House

Your district's one vote in the U.S. House. House members write and vote on federal laws, taxes and spending, and every bill to raise taxes has to start in the House. A term is two years.

State Senate

Your district's vote in the Kentucky Senate. Senators write and vote on state laws and the state budget, approve some of the governor's appointments, and with the House can override the governor's veto with a majority of each chamber. A term is four years.

Only the 19 even-numbered state Senate districts are on the ballot; senators serve four-year terms, and the odd-numbered districts are next up in 2028. Races with one candidate are still on the ballot.

State House

Your district's vote in the Kentucky House of Representatives. Members write and vote on state laws and the state budget, and every bill to raise money must start in the House. A term is two years.

All 100 state House seats are on the ballot; members serve two-year terms. Races with one candidate are still on the ballot.
