117.020 Declaration by state board of county's status as a preclearance county.
The State Board of Elections may declare a county to be a preclearance county for <br>election purposes when that county has a history of voter fraud, noncompliance with <br>election laws, or voter complaints about the integrity of a particular election. In a county <br>designated as a preclearance county, all decisions of the county board of elections shall be <br>reported to the State Board of Elections for its review. The failure of a county board of <br>elections of a preclearance county to submit its decisions to the State Board of Elections <br>for its review shall constitute a prima facie case for appointment of an election manager <br>under KRS 117.022. The State Board of Elections may require a preclearance county to <br>submit evidence or justification as required by the state board which is necessary to <br>evaluate the county board's decisions. A county designated as a preclearance county shall <br>retain that designation until it is removed by the State Board of Elections.
