Registration among voters not affiliated with major parties is growing in Kentucky. Registration under political category of “other” reached 10% last December.

The percentage of Kentucky’s registered voters who aren’t affiliated with the Republican or Democratic parties reached a new high at the end of 2022, Secretary of State Michael Adfams said.

Voter registration under the category of “other” political affiliations broke the 10% mark last December, he said.

“Candidates for statewide office should take notice: to win a general election, they must reach out beyond their base and court the fastest-growing bloc of the electorate,” Adams said.

Meanwhile, voters registered as Independent or with other affiliations account for 10% of the statewide electorate as a result of the latest registration increase in that category, he said.
