The 1984 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. Kentucky voters chose 9 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the President and Vice President of the United States.
Kentucky was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
The presidential election of 1984 was a very partisan election for Kentucky, with over 99% of the electorate voting only either Democratic or Republican, though several other parties did appear on the ballot. The majority of counties in Kentucky voted for Reagan, a particularly strong turnout even in this typically conservative-leaning state. This is the most recent presidential election where Louisville's Jefferson County voted in majority for the Republican candidate. The long-lasting Democratic stronghold along the Eastern border of the state is still evident during this election.
