AN ACT proposing to amend Section 145 of the Constitution of Kentucky relating to persons entitled to vote.

This bill proposes a change to the Kentucky Constitution that would specifically bar people who have been declared mentally incompetent by a court from voting. Because it is a constitutional amendment, it would not become law on its own — voters across Kentucky would first need to approve or reject it at the ballot box. The change would affect who is legally eligible to cast a vote in the state. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who have been adjudicated mentally incompetent by a court, as well as all registered voters who would decide whether to ratify the amendment.
