The Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office provided an update on voter registration numbers as the 2023 election is now less than three months away.
According to the Secretary of State;s Office, 6,149 new voters were added to the rolls in July, while 4,903 voters were removed. The Secretary of State;s Office says this is the fifth month in a row that new registrations outpaced voter removals.
Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith says growth in the area means more potential voters.
“Hardin County is a growing county,” Smith said. “We can see that every day as we travel throughout the community. That includes new people moving here for the first time, and I’m excited to see that they’re choosing to register to vote here in Hardin County.”
Kentuckians who want to have a say in an election highlighted by the race for governor can get registered with a quick trip to their county clerk’s office.
“It’s pretty easy,” Smith said. “We can have you in and out in about two minutes once you register to vote. It’s important. The elections coming up will be big and will impact Hardin County for years to come, everything from governor to auditor to attorney general to ag commissioner, and we’d love to see a high turnout for Hardin County in November.”
Election Day is November 7. Voters must be registered by 4 p.m. on October 10.
