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.
