Kentucky party nominees were chosen at the May 19 primary (plurality, no runoffs); independent and minor-party candidates qualified by petition, and the field is the Secretary of State's 2026 General Election candidate filings list (web.sos.ky.gov/CandidateFilings). Kentucky prints unopposed candidates; declared write-in candidates never print. Kentucky elects its statewide constitutional officers in odd-numbered years, so no governor or row-office race is on this ballot; county officers (judge/executive, clerk, sheriff, attorney, jailer, magistrates, PVA and coroner) run in 2026 and file with county clerks.
