Due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, preliminary election results will not be available on election night according to the State Board of Elections. Many counties, including the two biggest in the state, have chosen to withhold even partial results until June 30, the extended deadline for all counties to report returns to the Secretary of State.
Kentucky Secretary of State, Michael Adams said, “Our office will provide, in informal but transparent fashion, any county results we receive on election night, neither our Office nor the State Board of Elections will be able to offer the usual online election night reporting at elect.ky.gov. Complete but unofficial results must be reported to the Secretary of State by 6:00 p.m. local time on June 30, and will be made available to the public at that time.”
