Secretary Grayson Reminds Voters of Judicial Races on Primary Ballot
(Frankfort, KY) Some voters will have more decisions to make for primary election day on May 20, 2008. A number of counties will see judicial races on their ballot in addition to other races such as the presidential, congressional, and legislative races. All registered voters within a judicial district are eligible to vote in their respective judicial primaries.
“A large number of Kentucky voters will have judicial races on the ballot when they head to the polls on May 20th,” stated Secretary Grayson. “This is particularly important to voters registered as “other” who might not be eligible to vote on any other races on the ballot. Voters should prepare for this election by determining the races for which they are eligible to cast a ballot and by researching the candidates for those offices.”
All of the primary races are due to vacancies in office. The Office of the Secretary of State receives notification from Chief Justice Joseph Lambert of vacancies. If more than two candidates file for a particular race, then the race is placed on the primary ballot. The two candidates in each race receiving the most votes will appear on the ballot in the 2008 General Election.
