Kentucky Bill to Move Gubernatorial Elections to Presidential Years Passes Committee Unanimously

On January 15, the Kentucky Senate State and Local Government passed SB 3 unanimously. It moves elections for Governor and the other statewide state elected offices from the odd year before a presidential election, to presidential election years. Assuming it passes the legislature this year, voters would vote on the idea in November 2020. The change would not take effect until after the 2023 gubernatorial election. If the voters pass it, the candidates elected in 2023 would get five-year terms temporarily, and the next gubernatorial election would be 2028.

The only other states that elect governors in odd years are Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Kentucky holds state legislative elections in even years.
