Kentucky doesn’t have any races on Nov. 4, but that doesn’t mean election officials aren’t busy. “We have to continually prepare for the next election and the next election and the next election,” Taylor Brown, general counsel for the Kentucky Board of Elections, explained.

Adams wrote on his official social media accounts: "We're getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."

Put simply, Kentucky does not have any scheduled elections Nov. 4 because there are no major statewide, federal or special elections on that date.
