Unofficial and changing

Numbers come from the Kentucky State Board of Elections results feed, which updates every two minutes on election night. They are unofficial until counties certify. This page does not call races.

A county is "reporting" once it has uploaded any results and "final" once the county clerk marks its upload complete.

Early, absentee and Election Day

The state reports Election Day votes and total votes for each candidate. Early and absentee votes are the difference: in-person early voting, mail ballots and excused in-person absentee voting together.

Turnout is ballots cast divided by registered voters, as reported by each county.

Swing from 2022

Swing compares each county's 2026 Senate margin (Democrat minus Republican share) with the certified 2022 Senate race, Charles Booker vs. Rand Paul. Partial counts can move a lot as more votes come in.
