FRANKFORT, KY – September 30, 2004 – The Kentucky State Board of Elections now has a new online presence, located at http://elect.ky.gov. The Elections Board officially launched its redesigned site today.

“We are thrilled to offer this new site to the citizens of Kentucky,” stated Secretary of State Trey Grayson, Chairman of the State Board of Elections.  “We are particularly proud that the website’s format follows accessibility standards and will allow more citizens to access the many resources found on the site.”

The newly-designed website offers election and voting information in an easy-to-use, accessible format. Kentuckians can find information on registering to vote, changing their voter registration information, and conducting a voter registration drive. They can also find their precinct location and legislative districts, view election statistics and laws, and access an election calendar, among other things.

“I hope Kentuckians will take some time to visit us at our new home on the Internet,” said Secretary Grayson. “We know that they will find the services very useful as Election Day draws near.”

The new site was built by the Board in partnership with Kentucky.gov, which also built and maintains the Commonwealth’s official website at www.kentucky.gov.
