Tennessee election: How to see results, map tonight for presidential, senate race
Where candidates stand on the top election issues
USA Today’s Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page highlights the top voting issues and where each candidate stands on them.
It’s Election Day. In Tennessee, the polls are open until 7 p.m. Central Time.
Tennesseans are not only electing the next President of the United States, but also representation in both the U.S. Senate and House, as well as state legislature seats. Nashvillians are also voting for or against Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s transit referendum.
Among the most closely watched races is the battle for the U.S. Senate, where incumbent Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, is seeking a second term against state Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville. U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Columbia, is also up for re-election, facing off against Nashville activist Maryam Abolfazli.
When will the presidential race be called?
It is highly likely the results of the presidential election won’t be announced the night of Nov. 5. Depending on the state and the laws in place, it can take some time to count all of the ballots.
According to Poynter, over half of all states require that mail ballots be received by Election Day, but about 18 states will count mail ballots if they are received after Election Day but postmarked on or before Election Day.
Additionally, some state laws allow military or overseas ballots to be received after Election Day.
State laws can also determine when local officials must finish counting ballots, which can range from one to two weeks after Election Day in certain states, reported Poynter.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
