Kentucky seats scoreboard
The Kentucky 2026 seat results are not available yet: the Kentucky State Board of Elections’ 2026 results page was last checked on 2026-11-13 and nothing is estimated or filled in. This page lists every seat on the 2026 ballot against the same seat in 2022 and 2024, per the State Board of Elections’ county summary files for the 2022 and 2024 general elections, summed to counties and districts here.
Every seat on the 2026 ballot is one row, set against the same seat in 2022 and 2024. The 2026 columns read results not available yet until the state publishes them. Everyone sees the statewide contests and the five seats that were closest in the latest past election in each chamber; Pro opens every district.
2026 results are not available yet. The State Board of Elections had posted no 2026 general election files when we last checked, and the election-night site refuses automated readers, so we load nothing from it. Expected when the State Board posts its files; the board certifies by November 23, 2026. We last checked the Kentucky State Board of Elections’ 2026 results page on 2026-11-13. Until then this page shows past elections only, and nothing is estimated or filled in.
Read this with the numbers:
- No 2026 result is loaded. The State Board of Elections had posted no 2026 general election file when we last checked on November 9, 2026, and its election-night site refuses automated readers. We call no race.
- The U.S. Senate seat on the 2026 ballot is not the seat that was on the 2022 ballot, so the 2022 column is the statewide vote for a different seat. Kentucky elects no statewide state officers in 2026.
- The 2022 and 2024 numbers are the State Board’s county files summed here, not its final printed totals. For 2022 the U.S. Senate files are short of the printed results by 69 votes for Rand Paul and 80 for Charles Booker, and write-in counts are incomplete: where a write-in is listed as not reported, a stored 0 means the file did not report it, not a zero count.
- The State Senate seats on the 2026 ballot are the 19 even-numbered districts, last elected in 2022; the odd-numbered districts were elected in 2024. State House District results where only one candidate ran read Unopposed (51 of 100 districts in 2022 and 55 of 100 in 2024). The two constitutional amendments on past ballots are not drawn as margins because they have Yes and No sides, not parties.
- State calendar: counties send their totals to the Secretary of State by noon on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and the State Board of Elections certifies by November 23, 2026. A candidate who loses by 0.5% or less of the votes cast in a General Assembly, U.S. Senate or U.S. House contest has a recount right under Kentucky law (KRS 120.157); we state no recount from a margin.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows past elections only (2022 and 2024); no 2026 results are loaded because the State Board of Elections had posted none when we last checked. See the state page.

Sources and method
- 2026: not available yet. The State Board of Elections had posted no 2026 general election files when we last checked, and the election-night site refuses automated readers, so we load nothing from it. We last checked the Kentucky State Board of Elections’ 2026 results page on 2026-11-13.
- 2022 and 2024: the State Board of Elections’ county summary files for the 2022 and 2024 general elections, summed to counties and districts here, the State Board of Elections’ county summary files, summed over each district’s counties or county parts. 2022 (checksum 8c769fec04e8) 2024 (checksum 983819ec208c)
- District maps: There are no district maps for Kentucky yet. County outlines are U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (public domain).
- Which seats appear: every seat on the 2026 ballot that we could confirm: the U.S. Senate, the six U.S. House seats, the 19 even-numbered State Senate districts and all 100 State House districts. Past results are the State Board of Elections’ county files, summed over each district’s counties; they are not its final printed totals. Judicial races and state questions are not on the board.
- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
- District lines: Kentucky’s congressional and legislative maps were enacted in 2022 and used in the 2022 and 2024 elections. We found no mid-decade redraw for 2026 (that is a search result, not a confirmation). The State Senate has 38 districts and the even-numbered ones are up in 2026.
