Frankfort, Ky. (March 16, 2023) – Secretary of State Michael Adams commends the Kentucky House for sending the bipartisan election reform measure House Bill 302, as amended by the Senate, to the Governor’s desk. Each year of Adams’ term, he has worked with legislators of both parties to successfully pass bipartisan election reform legislation.
Among other things, House Bill 302 grants Adams’ request to tighten the law that lets county clerks consolidate the number of voting locations available on election day. The bill also applies to early voting days the ban on electioneering within 100 feet of an election-day voting location.
“I’m grateful to the General Assembly, particularly Senators Damon Thayer and Robby Mills, for their work in passing this important legislation to improve the voter experience,” Adams said. “On behalf of the voters we serve, I ask Governor Beshear to sign it.”
