FRANKFORT, Ky. — Three special elections will happen across the state Tuesday. All will replace unfilled seats ahead of the Kentucky legislature’s 2022 session.

A special election will be held for the 22nd Senate District seat, which was vacated when Sen. Tom Buford died. The district includes Garrard, Jessamine, Mercer and Washington Counties. A portion of Fayette County also resides in the district.

The 89th House District seat will be on the ballot in Jackson and parts of Laurel and Madison Counties. The seat formerly belonged to Rep. Robert Goforth who resigned.

The 51st House District seat, vacated after Rep. John “Bam” Carney’s death, is open. The district includes Adair and Taylor Counties.
