Write-In Candidate Deadline

Potential ‘write-in’ candidates have less than a week to decide if they want to enter the political frey.  The deadline to be a write-in candidate in the November sixth General Election is this Friday.  Under state law, write-in candidates for any office must file a Declaration of Intent to be a write-in and pay a statutorily prescribed fee.  Write-I candidates for President and Vice President must also file a list of presidential electors pledged to the candidates.  Write-in votes cast for individual who have not satisfied the filing requirements are not counted.

Stu Johnson retired from WEKU in November, 2024 after reporting for the station for 40 years. Stu's primary beat was Lexington/Fayette government.
