While official election results will not be made known until Tuesday, June 30, unofficial vote totals from in-person voting on Tuesday and in-person absentee voting leading up to Election Day have been tallied. 

The results below are considered unofficial and do not include votes from more than 6,000 absentee ballots that were mailed out from the Boyle County Clerk’s office. 

In the race for State Senate District 15, incumbent Rick Girdler picked up a large margin in Boyle County, getting 906 votes compared to 236 for his challenger, Larry Nichols. The 15th Senate District also consists of Pulaski and Lincoln counties. At the time of writing, results from those counties were not available. 

With no Democrat running for this seat, the winner of the primary will represent the three counties in the Kentucky State Senate.

In one of the most closely contested races statewide, the Democratic primary for U.S. Senator, Charles Booker totaled 455 votes, leading a pack of nine other candidates.

In the Republican Presidential Primary, incumbent President Donald Trump picked up 1,161 votes in Boyle County, while 70 Republican voters selected “uncommitted” on their ballot. 

Boyle County Clerk Trille Bottom said 6,674 absentee ballots were mailed out, but as of Tuesday evening, all of the returned ballots had not been counted, so she was unable to officially give an accurate number of how many absentee ballots had been returned to the clerk’s office. 

Absentee ballots that were postmarked by June 23 and received by Saturday, June 27 will be counted for the election.
