Kentucky's absentee ballot requests signal potentially 'massive' voter turnout

Kentucky’s top election official isn’t making a prediction about 2024 election turnout just yet, but at least one key sign indicates it could be high.

Secretary of State Michael Adams said Wednesday that 130,695 Kentucky voters requested an absentee ballot by the Oct. 22 deadline.

“As absentee ballots generally make up 2%-4% of all ballots cast, this portends a massive overall turnout,” Adams wrote on social media.

He added a plea: “For the love of God, vote early.”
