2024 election results: Live updates on Amendment 2, races in Kentucky

Today is Election Day.

While the entire country will be focused on who will win the presidential election, eyes in Kentucky will also be on Amendment 2 and whether the commonwealth will have the ability to funnel public dollars to private schools.

Kentucky's polls close at 6 p.m. local time, and The Courier Journal will have complete results for races across the Bluegrass State, the two state constitutional amendments, as well as for the Louisville Metro Council and Jefferson County Board of Education.

You can follow results all night on courier-journal.com.

Amendment 2 asks voters whether they want to amend the state constitution to let lawmakers spend tax dollars on nonpublic education, such as charter schools or school vouchers. The amendment has the potential to drastically transform Kentucky's education landscape, if it passes.
