The Kentucky deadline for presidential candidates to file for a presidential primary was January 10. Candidates get on the ballot by paying a filing fee and meeting one of these three requirements: (1) qualified for primary season matching funds; (2) already on the presidential primary of 20 other states; (3) submitting 5,000 signatures. Thanks to Jim Riley for this addition.
The Democratic ballot will list Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, Deval Patrick, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren, and Andrew Yang (13 names).
The only name on the Republican ballot is President Donald Trump. See the list here.
Kentucky requires the physical home address for this list, and that address is included for each candidate.
The fee is in addition to meeting one of three other requirements:
1. Qualifying for federal matching funds.
2. 5000 signatures
3. Qualifying for a primary in 20 other states.
I think all candidates qualified by 3.
Booker quit today.

NOM pets ONLY.
I think Kentucky will be one of several states where the Republican ballot is “Trump or No Preference/Uncommitted/etc”. Unless they changed that recently. I recall the 2012 KY Dem ballot was Obama or Uncommitted.
