Overview
- Secretary of State Michael Adams said his office fielded calls about closed polling places and posted on social media that Kentucky had no elections on Tuesday.
- Adams reminded residents they could not vote in out‑of‑state races such as New York City's mayoral contest or the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races.
- He cited Kentucky’s election calendar, set by a 1992 amendment, which shifted many local offices to midterm cycles and left no statewide races scheduled for 2025.
- Local outlets reported that some school calendars listing Election Day, with some districts still observing it, contributed to public confusion.
- Newsweek reported Adams’ post drew more than 150,000 views, as attention turns to 2026–2027 races including the open U.S. Senate seat after Mitch McConnell’s retirement.
