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