Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway is reminding citizens that his office will once again operate the Election Fraud Hotline on primary Election Day, May 20.

“Investigators from my office will be patrolling precincts and polling places throughout the Commonwealth, but we need citizens to join with us to ensure that all Kentuckians have a chance to make their vote count on election day,” General Conway said.

The Election Fraud Hotline is 800-328-VOTE (800-328-8683). The hotline is available throughout the year during normal business hours. On May 20, calls will be received from 6 a.m. EDT until 7 p.m. EDT.

In 2007, the hotline received 27 complaints in the primary and 86 complaints during the general election. Staff attorneys from the Office of the Attorney General process the complaints and refer them out for investigation to the Kentucky State Police, the State Board of Elections, county clerks, local law enforcement or the Kentucky Bureau of Investigations.

The State Board of Elections will also be fielding calls through Election Day. Citizens are encouraged to contact their local county clerk or the State Board of Elections with general election concerns or for election information.
