AN ACT relating to elections.
SB 143 amends Kentucky election law to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in voter registration forms. The bill directly affects all Kentucky voters by updating the statutory language required on registration forms. Key provisions require the State Board of Elections to revise forms to use inclusive language while maintaining existing requirements like name, address, and signature verification. The change ensures forms do not assume gender identity, aligning with broader efforts for inclusive civic processes. The bill is currently in committee review after its February 2025 introduction.
