The executive director of the State Board of Elections or his designee shall
examine each proposed precinct establishment order submitted under KRS
117.0552 to determine if the order would establish precincts in compliance with
KRS 117.055 to 117.0552.
If the executive director or his designee determines that the proposed precinct
establishment order would comply with KRS 117.055 to 117.0552, the
executive director shall approve the proposed precinct establishment order no
later than thirty (30) days after its receipt by the executive director. The order
shall become effective upon the executive director's approval unless the order
contains a different effective date.
If the executive director or his designee determines that the proposed precinct
establishment order would not comply with KRS 117.055 to 117.0552, the
executive director shall return the proposed precinct establishment order to the
county board of elections no later than thirty (30) days after he receives the

director indicating specifically how the order would not comply with KRS
117.055 to 117.0552.
If a proposed precinct establishment order is returned to a county board of
elections under this section, the board may:
(a) Amend the proposed order so that the precincts may be established in
compliance with KRS 117.055 to 117.0552; or

for an exemption, or request for a hearing. If the proposed order is resubmitted
with an amendment, the executive director or his designee shall review and act
upon the amended proposal in accordance with subsections (1) to (3) of this
section.
