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.

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.
