This is a reminder that the deadline for candidate filings for the May 17, 2011 primary is 4:00 p.m. EST, Tuesday, January 25, 2011.

Secretary of State Trey Grayson will open his office all day for members of the press to use as a station for writing stories, relaxing, etc. We will try to accommodate everyone as much as possible. We anticipate having internet access available (including wireless) for anyone needing web access during this time; however, computers will not be provided in the conference room.

We will have numerous chairs placed in the hallways for those of you who would like to watch the filing room directly, as the conference room does not have a direct view of the filing room. We will also have some computers in the hallway in order for those outside of our office to access the online candidates listing page:

http://www.sos.ky.gov/candidates

We will attempt to update this site as quickly as possible with the hope of being near “real time.”

We would like to make this day as accommodating as possible. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. The Secretary looks forward to seeing all of you on Tuesday.
