CNN — Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams said Monday the state's primary election would be postponed.

"Today, Governor (Andy) Beshear and I agreed to delay the primary election originally scheduled for May 19 to June 23," Adams said in a video posted to Twitter.

He said Kentucky law allows the secretary of state and governor to jointly act to change the time of an election due to a state of emergency.
