A Kentucky man and convicted felon, Jeffrey Woodard, was indicted by Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman for fraudulent voter registrations.

“Jeff Woodard unlawfully registered to vote on five separate occasions between 2023-2026, despite being a convicted felon,” Coleman said in a post about the indictment.

In Kentucky, it is illegal for convicted felons to vote while serving a sentence, and in certain cases for a period of time afterward, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The Kentucky Office of the Attorney General released a statement about the incident, encouraging Kentucky residents to partner with the office in reporting possible fraud.

“To keep the Commonwealth’s elections free, fair, and secure, Attorney General Coleman asks Kentuckians to report any suspected election law violations to the Attorney General’s Election Fraud Hotline at (800) 328-VOTE or online here,” the statement said.

The Heritage Foundation tracks individual voter fraud cases across all 50 states and found seven cases of individual voters committing fraud in Kentucky between 2023 and 2025, with no results yet for 2026.

Minnesota has the highest overall count of voter fraud in the nation, according to Heritage data going back to the 1980s, with Kentucky coming in as a mid-level offender.

With just days to go before Tuesday’s election, federal and state authorities are cracking down on possible fraudulent activity.

The U.S. Justice Department asked Washington state on Tuesday to withdraw ballots from suspected non-citizens from their count, and U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Leah Foley announced Wednesday her office would investigate possible “interference” with the election in Massachusetts.

“Anyone who attempts to undermine a federal election through criminal conduct should understand that we are prepared to investigate, enforce the law and pursue accountability,” Foley said. “The integrity of our elections is not negotiable.”

Woodard’s previous convictions include use of a minor in a sexual performance, and possession of matter depicting a sexual performance by a minor.

Woodard was taken into custody and has a bond set at $25,000.
