Secretary of State Michael Adams reminds Kentucky voters that 2025 is an off-year with no state elections, even though some states are holding races.
Adams wrote on his official social media accounts: "We're getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."
While many states did hold their elections yesterday, the Kentucky Secretary of State had to intervene after some residents were confused about why voting booths weren’t open.
Put simply, Kentucky does not have any scheduled elections Nov. 4 because there are no major statewide, federal or special elections on that date.
Roy Wood Jr. and his “Have I Got News For You” guests joke about how confused some Kentucky residents were when they went to their polling stations on Election Day. “Have I Got News For You” regularly airs Saturdays at 9pm ET/PT and streams on HBO Max the following day.
They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."The next Louisville mayoral race is in 2026 and the next Kentucky governor's race is 2027.
