Frankfort, KY (June 6, 2025) – Secretary of State Michael Adams announced that Kentuckians registered under “other” political affiliations have bested Republican and Democratic registrations combined for three straight months.
“As the Democrats move further left and the Republicans move further right, more voters are registering as Independent,” said Adams. “Kentucky has a large and growing political center; candidates should take note and court this growing bloc of voters.”
In May, 4,157 voters were removed, including 3,173 who were deceased, 440 who moved out of state, 402 convicted felons, 65 who voluntarily de-registered, 49 voters adjudged mentally incompetent, and 28 duplicate registrations.

Democratic registration accounts for 42 percent of the electorate, with 1,391,172 voters. Democratic registration fell by 838, a .06 percent decrease.
