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.

Polls in Kentucky close at 6 p.m. local time, and The Courier Journal will publish full results for races in the Bluegrass State, the state’s two constitutional amendments, as well as for the Louisville Metro Council and Jefferson County Board of Education.

Will Amendment 2 pass in Kentucky?

Amendment 2 asks voters if they want to amend the state constitution to allow lawmakers to spend taxpayer money on non-public education, such as charter schools or school vouchers. The amendment has the potential to dramatically transform Kentucky’s education landscape if passed.
