Election Day live updates: Polls set to open in the Nashville area. Get latest updates
When will Americans know the results of the presidential election?
Mail-in ballots and poll closure times will be two factors in determining when presidential election results will be ready on Election Day.
Election Day is here!
The only statewide race on the ballot this year is a battle for the U.S. Senate, where incumbent U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, is seeking a second six-year term against Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson. Meanwhile, all nine U.S. House seats are up for election this year and all 99 seats in the Tennessee House of Representatives. Only the even-numbered state Senate seats are up for grabs in 2024.
In Nashville, voters will decide on whether to increase the sales tax by a half-cent to fund Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s $3.1 billion “Choose How You Move” transit improvement plan.
Polls open at 7 a.m. CST and close at 7 p.m. CST.

Follow along for live updates throughout the day.
Polls in Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson and Montgomery counties open at 7 a.m. while in some counties they will open at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m.
WeGo rides free on Election Day
All Election Day rides on WeGo buses in Davidson County will be free, Mayor Freddie O’Connell said in a release. The transit app will provide available route directions to polling sites Tuesday.
Help curb Election Day fraud
Voters can reach the Election Day hotline at 1-877-850-4959. Those witnessing voting fraud are asked to text TN to 45995.
“Tennesseans should know their elections remain secure,” Secretary of State Tre Hargett said in a statement Monday. “These numbers provide easy and direct access to election officials, so voters can have confidence when casting a ballot and know that any potential issue is addressed.”
Is mailed delivered on Election Day?
Mail carriers and other parcel services are delivering on Election Day. The USPS expects a surge in mail delivery on Election Day as it prepares to deliver ballots.
What is my polling location?
Voters must vote at their assigned precinct on Election Day.
Residents of Davidson County may use the county Polling Place Finder to identify their assigned polling location. Voters may also look up their polling location through the Tennessee Secretary of State website.
What do I need to bring to vote? What IDs are acceptable?
Voters must present an ID with their name and photograph to vote. One example of this is a Tennessee driver license. The following IDs are also acceptable, even if expired:
- A United States passport
- A photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
- A photo ID issued by the federal or Tennessee state government
- A United States Military photo ID
- A Tennessee handgun carry permit with your photo
I forgot my ID. Can I still vote?
Yes. In the case that a voter can’t provide an acceptable form of ID, the voter will be issued a provisional ballot.
The voter will then have two business days after Election Day to return to the election commission office and show a valid photo ID. According to the Tennessee Secretary of State, upon returning to the election commission office, the voter will sign an affidavit and a copy of the voter’s photo ID will be made to be reviewed by the counting board.
Is it too late to register to vote in Tennessee?
Yes, Tennessee does not offer same day voter registration. The last day to register to vote in Tennessee was Oct. 7.

Nashville Sounds and Autism Tennessee partner to host inclusive Beyond the Label Day for local children
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — At a ballpark built for noise, there is space for something quieter.
During the Nashville Sounds’ “Beyond the Label Day,” kids are learning, playing and experiencing baseball in a way that works for them. Autism Tennessee volunteers stepped in to guide kids through sensory play designed to calm and focus.
From spinning toys to textured fidgets, these tools help turn overwhelming moments into manageable ones. Children engaged with the activities, pointing out shapes like a circle, noticing items like candies, and expressing how nice the experience was.
Adam English, general manager of the Nashville Sounds, said making space for everyone is the goal, even as the stadium announcer calls another Sounds strikeout.
“It’s important for us to raise awareness about autism, but also just make sure that First Horizon Park is an inclusive place for everybody” English said.
The Sounds stadium even has a sensory room for families at every game.
“There’s huge baseball fans that sometimes shy away because of loud crowds and we want to make sure every game out here available” English said.
For Autism Tennessee leaders like Jessica Moore, days like this are about more than awareness. They are about belonging.
“Typically events like this can be super overwhelming… so this is just a way for people to feel like they can come and still be successful” Moore said.
What are your thoughts on making sports venues more inclusive for all fans? Watch the video to see the sensory room in action, and share your experiences with me at kim.rafferty@NewsChannel5.com.
