Board Elections

​Candidates for the upcoming SPRS election

Additional individuals may be placed on the election ballot by submitting a petition from the SPRS membership. Per Kentucky Revised Statute 61.645, the petition must contain the name, last four digits of Social Security Number, and signature of no less than 36 members (1/10 of the number of members voting in the last SPRS election). Individuals seeking nomination by petition must also submit a completed application, cover letter, detailed résumé, picture, and signed release for a criminal background check to be performed by Kentucky State Police. These documents do not need to be submitted if they were provided earlier during the current election process. Petition and all other documentation must be submitted to the Division of Internal Audit no later than October 31, 2026.

An Important Note About Mail-in Ballots

According to KRS Board Election Policy, mail-in ballots must be postmarked by March 1, 2027, to be considered valid. Per this Postal Service fact sheet on postmarking, the date of a postmark may not match the date your mail was picked up by a carrier or dropped in a mailbox or the outgoing mail slot at the Post Office. To ensure your mail-in ballot is postmarked by March 1, you need to take the ballot to the Post Office counter and ask the clerk to manually postmark it.

Alternately, you can vote online by confirming your email address in Self Service at MyRetirement.ky.gov. If you haven't already registered for Self Service, you can learn how to do that by visiting our Self Service page and scrolling down to "Register for Self Service."
