Kentucky voters are not electing just a governor this fall.

Five other constitutional offices are on the “down ballot” — and only one of them, secretary of state, has an incumbent.

No-excuse early voting starts Thursday, Nov. 2, and will last through Saturday. Voters can find information, such as address and hours, for their local early voting locations on the State Board of Elections’ website.

The election is Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Here’s a compilation of Lantern reporting on the candidates and the races.
