117.020 Declaration by state board of county's status as a preclearance county.
The State Board of Elections may declare a county to be a preclearance county for
election purposes when that county has a history of voter fraud, noncompliance with
election laws, or voter complaints about the integrity of a particular election. In a county
designated as a preclearance county, all decisions of the county board of elections shall be
reported to the State Board of Elections for its review. The failure of a county board of
elections of a preclearance county to submit its decisions to the State Board of Elections
for its review shall constitute a prima facie case for appointment of an election manager
under KRS 117.022. The State Board of Elections may require a preclearance county to
submit evidence or justification as required by the state board which is necessary to
evaluate the county board's decisions. A county designated as a preclearance county shall
retain that designation until it is removed by the State Board of Elections.
