THE APEX TIMES
The attorney general’s office said the hotline will be available as voting begins in the morning and will close at 7 p.m. All calls will be handled by staff from the AG’s office.
Kentucky’s attorney general’s office is urging residents to use a voter fraud hotline during Election Day, ahead of the hours when many people are expected to vote in person. The office said the hotline will be open as soon as voters begin heading to polling locations at 6 a.m., and it will remain staffed through 7 p.m., when polls close.
According to WKYT, the hotline is intended for Election Day concerns related to potential voter fraud. The attorney general’s office said every call will be answered by a member of the attorney general’s office team, rather than being routed through an outside call center or automated system.
The announcement comes as Kentucky voters prepare to cast ballots in person at polling sites across the state. Election Day procedures typically require poll workers and election administrators to manage high call volume at the state and local level for routine questions, such as where to vote, what identification is needed, and how to report election irregularities.
The attorney general’s office reminder is focused on a narrow, time-bound window on Election Day. By setting the hotline hours to match the period voters are likely to be arriving at polls, the office said it is aligning intake of reported concerns with the time those issues could emerge during voting.
WKYT reported that the hotline will be open starting at 6 a.m. and that it will end at 7 p.m. The office did not indicate in the report any extended hours or post-election coverage, and it framed the hotline as an Election Day resource for residents who believe they have information about potential fraud.
The statement also emphasized who will respond to incoming tips. The AG’s office said all calls will be handled by personnel from the attorney general’s office team, pointing to an internal review process for the information being provided.
Election-related complaints can raise questions about public confidence, voting accessibility, and the proper enforcement of state election laws. The AG’s office framing centers on taking reports during the voting window so that officials can evaluate information in real time rather than waiting until after Election Day.
Officials typically advise voters to follow election rules at polling locations and to use official channels to report irregularities. This week’s hotline reminder is part of that broader effort to make reporting options clear to the public during the period when in-person voting is most active.
