Application Provides Kentuckians Easier
Access to Filing Forms
The Office of the Secretary of State recently launched a new
online application, the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Becoming a
Candidate Document System, that allows potential candidates to
complete their election filing forms electronically for
printing.
The application has provided an electronic means for Kentucky
citizens seeking an elected office to download or request receipt
of all necessary election filing documents. The Becoming a
Candidate Document System is now the quickest way to receive the
documents in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
"The 2018 election cycle is what's known in Kentucky as a county
election year, so it will feature thousands of candidates,” said
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's chief
elections official. “As Secretary of State, we've launched online
voter registration and made military voting easier with the use of
technology, so it's natural that we tackle making the filing
process simpler for candidates with a new filing portal
online."
The application is presented in a responsive design, allowing
constituents of the Commonwealth the ability to access the form
across multiple devices.
The Becoming a Candidate Document System was provided to the
Office of the Secretary of State by Frankfort-based Kentucky
Interactive, LLC, aka Kentucky.gov, via a public-private
partnership.
