The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was initially set for January 31, 2012.

The primary election day was May 22, 2012.[2] Out of the 100 seats up for election, only 36 will have a primary.[3]

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, guided by the majority party (Republican in the Senate and Democratic in the House). The Governor criticized Senate Republicans for drawing partisan maps, but did not chasten the House's plan. The votes in both chambers were marked by anger from from minority party legislators[4] and on January 26, House Republicans filed suit against the Democrats' chamber map, arguing that the plan unnecessarily divides counties. The approved plan split four more counties than the Republican alternative.[5]
Owing to the court challenge, Judge Phillip Shepherd postponed the filing deadline for both chambers until February 7 in order to consider the constitutionality of new maps.[6] Ultimately, Shepherd declared the newly drawn legislative districts unconstitutional and ordered election officials to use previous district lines in the 2012 election. His ruling declared the maps unconstitutional because some districts varied by more than the ideal 5 percent population size and divided more counties into separate legislative districts than necessary.[7]
