About this race

Ashley Renee Hampton and Lindsey Noller Turner are on the November 3, 2026 ballot for this seat. Voters across the 51st Judicial District (Henderson) vote on this seat. Kentucky judicial elections are nonpartisan; a primary narrows the field only when three or more candidates file for a seat. Listed from the Kentucky Secretary of State's 2026 general election candidate filings list.

What this office does

Trial court judge. A trial judge presides over criminal and civil cases at the first level: bail and pleas, motions, trials, sentencing and civil judgments. Judges are bound by state law and appellate precedent and are barred by judicial conduct rules from campaigning on how they would rule. Most states elect trial judges on a nonpartisan ballot; the term and the courts a judge may sit on vary by state.

This race. Nonpartisan: candidates appear without party labels.

This list comes from official election records but may be incomplete. It can miss, for example, late or petition candidates and some city, school and district races. Your official sample ballot is the final word.
