Boone County resolution redraws Union precincts after 2024 ballot errors
Summary
The Boone County Board of Elections approved Resolution 25-01 reconfiguring Union precincts and adding print-on-demand ballot printers for 2026 after split‑precinct ballot errors in the Nov. 5, 2024 election led to a court challenge and a judge setting aside that election.
Mayor Larry Solomon and staff reviewed the Boone County Board of Elections action (Resolution 25-01) that reorganized precinct lines affecting City of Union residents and unincorporated Boone County voters. The resolution, passed Oct. 16, 2025, consolidates precincts and designates Precincts 2 (B123) and 5 (B129) as "city-resident only" polling places. Solomon said the changes follow the City of Union's Jan. 2025 request to the Board to reorganize precincts and were approved by the State before the county adopted Resolution 25-01.
The attachments read into the record recount problems in the Nov. 5, 2024 election where split precincts caused some voters to receive the wrong ballot and a Boone County judge later ruled that as many as 800 votes could have been improperly cast, leading to the election being set aside and commissioners appointed. The county will deploy additional print-on-demand ballot printers in consolidated and split precincts for the 2026 primary and general elections to reduce the risk of human error. The record cites statutory authority in KRS 117.035 and KRS 117.055 governing precinct lines and election administration.
