In Tennessee, you have to be registered 30 days before an election to participate. If you’ve moved recently, changed your name, or haven’t voted in a long time, it’s a good idea to double-check your status.
Register to Vote Online →Tennessee has a great early voting period. You don’t need a special reason, just show up at an early voting location in your county. It usually runs for about two weeks, ending a few days before Election Day.
No long lines. On your own schedule. Get it done.
Tennessee is strict about absentee voting. You can only vote by mail if you have a legal reason: being 60+, out of town on Election Day, or having a physical illness or disability.
Request a ballot from your local election office, fill it out, and mail it back. It must be received by the time polls close on Election Day.
