Kentucky voters cast ballots in the state’s primary elections on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, deciding party nominees for key contests. Polls were open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., with some eligible voters casting early ballots; races included the GOP contest in the 4th Congressional District between incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie and Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein. Kentucky's open U.S. Senate primary to replace Mitch McConnell featured 18 candidates, including Republicans Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron, who publicly voted and campaigned this week. Results will determine November matchups; local outlets said full county results will be published in the May 27 edition of The Herald-News, with statewide tallies reported by state election officials thereafter.
