Kentucky House of Representatives • 2012 Kentucky Senate Elections

State legislative elections in 2012

Elections for the office of Kentucky House of Representatives were held in Kentucky on November 6, 2012. All 100 seats were up for election.

The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was initially set for January 31, 2012. Two hours before the deadline, Judge Phillip Shepherd postponed the deadline one week while he considered the constitutionality of new maps. The new deadline was February 7, 2012.

The primary Election Day was May 22, 2012. Out of the 100 seats up for election, only 36 had a primary.

Impact of redistricting

See also: Redistricting in Kentucky

On January 20, 2012, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear (D) signed the state's legislative redistricting maps. Each chamber drew its own maps, and Democrats held a majority in the House.

The plan was challenged in state court and found unconstitutional. The maps were not used for the 2012 elections, which took place under the 2002 maps.
