SB 205 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to election officers.

SB 205 increases pay for Kentucky election officers to $120 per election day served, directly affecting county election staff who serve during elections. The bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute 117.045 to establish this new daily rate for precinct election officers, replacing any previous pay structure. This change applies to all election days, including primaries, general elections, and special elections where officers are appointed. The policy focuses solely on compensating officers for their service, with no other provisions altering appointment procedures or qualifications.
