(Frankfort, KY) The State Board of Elections has received a number of inquiries about a rumor circulating around the Commonwealth stating that voters must have voted in the primary election to be eligible to vote in the general election.  Secretary of State Trey Grayson wanted to address those rumors via the following statement:

 

“According to the number and location of many calls, there appears to be a coordinated effort to spread misinformation in today’s election.  If a citizen is a legitimately registered voter, his or her participation in the primary election will not affect his or her eligibility to participate in the general election.  While I encourage every citizen to vote today, it is inappropriate for people to spread these falsehoods.”
