KRS 117.245: Procedure when voter's right to vote disputed.

(1) The fact that a person is registered constitutes only prima facie evidence of his or

her right to vote and does not prevent the officers of any election from refusing to

allow him or her to vote for cause.

(2) When the officers of an election disagree as t o the qualifications of a voter or if his

or her right to vote is disputed by a challenger, other than for failure to provide

proof of identification as defined in KRS 117.001, the voter shall sign a written oath

as to his or her qualifications before he or she is permitted to vote. The oath shall be

in such form prescribed and furnished by the State Board of Elections pursuant to

administrative regulations promulgated under KRS Chapter 13A. Twenty (20)

printed copies of these oaths shall be included in the election supplies of each

precinct.

(3) The subscribed oaths shall be returned to the county clerk who shall deliver them to

the Commonwealth's attorney.

(4) The Commonwealth's attorney and county attorney shall investigate each of the

oaths and cause to be summoned before the grand jury the witnesses they or either

of them, deem proper, and the grand jury shall make a thorough investigation of all

votes so cast, and return indictments against all persons illegally voting. The

foreman of the grand jury sha ll return to the county clerk all of the oaths upon

which no indictments are found. The county clerk shall safely keep them as a part of

the records of his or her office, and shall produce any or all of them, when required,

to any subsequent grand jury.
