| INFO.1Statutory ballot information pamphletIs there a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information, with content and distribution defined? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: KRS 121.190 references 'sample ballots' only as a category of political advertising subject to a paid-for disclaimer, and KRS 117.001 is the definitions section. No statutory voter pamphlet or voter-guide requirement with defined content and distribution was surfaced. | § view source 2026-05-20 |
| INFO.2Multilingual ballot requirementAre the triggers for multilingual ballots and voter materials set by statute (population thresholds, language-minority criteria)? | 0/10.0% | No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute. | no FTS match 2026-05-20 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 1/1100.0% | KRS 118A.140 codifies public access to candidate filings: the Secretary of State keeps a 'Register of Candidates' recording each candidate's name, contact address, office sought, and the date the nomination petition was received, and displays the information on a website. KRS 118.365 codifies the times for filing nomination certificates and petitions, and KRS 118A.060 the petition-for-nomination examination. Candidate-filing documents are publicly accessible. | § view source 2026-05-20 |
| CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute? | 1/1100.0% | KRS 118.212 ('When candidate's name not to be certified or printed on ballot -- Effect of death or withdrawal of candidate -- Notice required at polls -- Penalty') codifies the public-notice procedure where a candidate dies or withdraws: it governs whether the name is certified or printed and requires notice to be posted at the polls. KRS 118A.150 codifies the parallel procedure and penalty for judicial candidates. Candidate-disqualification/withdrawal publication is codified. | § view source 2026-05-20 |

| NOTIF.1Pre-election notice in statuteIs the requirement to notify voters of an upcoming election (date, polling place, registration deadline) set in statute with timing and content defined? | 0.5/150.0% | KRS 117.030 codifies pre-election public information: the State Board of Elections must publish and broadcast announcements throughout the state regarding the importance of voting, procedures for registering and voting, the general election laws, and penalties, and must post a voters'-rights notice at polling places. The general notice of an election (date and place) is given under KRS Chapter 424, cross-referenced rather than surfaced for this datapoint. | § view source 2026-05-20 |
| NOTIF.2Polling-place change noticeIf a voter's polling place changes between elections, is there a statutory requirement to provide individual notice within a defined timeframe? | 1/1100.0% | KRS 117.065 codifies polling-place-change notice: the county board of elections establishes the voting place for each precinct by January 15 each year, and 'if a change becomes necessary after that date, notice of change shall be published' pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. Polling-place-change notice is codified. | § view source 2026-05-20 |
