Summary

HB 874 changes Kentucky’s primary voting rules so voters must be registered with a party (or as independents) by Dec. 31 before a primary and stay registered through the primary date. It also bars voters who switch parties after that deadline from voting in the upcoming primary and limits independents to party primaries only if the party opts‑in. The bill further bans approval or purchase of new voting machines after early 2024 unless they meet a detailed list of security, audit and accessibility requirements.
