The Office of Gov. Andy Beshear announced in a press release March 16 several steps the state government would be taking to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The steps include postponing the May primary elections and closing restaurants except for carry out, delivery and drive-thru.
The primary elections will now be held June 23. This decision affects the Democratic primary, the Republican primary, local elections and special elections. Beshear made the executive order to postpone elections on recommendation from Secretary of State Michael Adams.
“Postponing the primary was not an easy decision,” said Adams.
