The 2024 Kentucky primary election is on May 21.

Good morning! It's primary election day in Kentucky. Do you know where to vote? Did you kind of procrastinate checking out the ballot? I’m Northern Kentucky reporter Jolene Almendarez, and I’ve got you covered.

My article today includes links to sample ballots, poll locations and everything else you need to know to vote today.

It also includes a roundup of articles I’ve written about the primary, including one about a candidate accused of strangling a teen at a Walmart, a GOP candidate who donated money to Hillary Clinton, and a candidate who affiliates with people who have said some pretty controversial things about race, sex, and gender.

You can follow me on social media to get all the latest updates as election results roll in tonight. I’m @jolenea1 on X, formerly known as Twitter, and @jalmendarez57 on Threads.
