Early voting for state and federal primary elections is officially underway and continues until Saturday, July 28. Early voting runs Mondays through Saturdays, and Primary Election Day is Thursday, August 2. To view a sample ballot and find early voting locations, voters can download the GoVoteTN app, available in the App Store or Google Play.
With a high number of retirements and elected officials vacating their posts to run for other positions, the 2018 election contains many state legislative races where there is no incumbent. Two statewide elections are also on the ballot: the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Bob Corker (who is retiring), and the Gubernatorial race, with current Governor Bill Haslam term-limited and not up for re-election.

College student IDs are not acceptable per state law.
