Knoxville residents, mark your calendars! Early voting is officially set to begin on Wednesday, October 16, and this year brings an exciting twist. Knox County is rolling out twelve early voting locations—the most ever for a county election! With expanded hours and two Saturdays included, there’s no excuse for missing out on this important civic duty.
Starting from October 16, eleven locations will be open across Knox County to make your voting experience as smooth as possible. But wait, there’s more! A twelfth location will be available on the University of Tennessee campus during the final week of early voting, specifically from October 28 to 31. This thoughtful addition ensures that students and faculty members can participate easily.
Here’s a quick look at where you can cast your vote:
For most locations, early voting hours will be generally consistent, making it easier for you to fit voting into your busy schedule. If you have specific times in mind, it’s a good idea to check the detailed hours for your preferred location on the Knox County Election website.
If you’re a first-time voter, you might be wondering what you’ll need when you approach the polls. While bringing your voter registration card can speed up the process, it’s not strictly necessary. What you absolutely must have is a valid photo identification issued by the State of Tennessee or the Federal Government. This could be a Tennessee Driver’s License or even a passport.
Please take note that out-of-state licenses and student IDs won’t suffice as forms of ID for voting under Tennessee law. To get more information on what IDs are acceptable, be sure to visit the elections FAQ page online.
For more details on early voting and any last-minute updates or changes, keep an eye on the Knox County Election Commission website or give them a call at 865-215-2480. Staying informed is crucial to making your voting experience as seamless as possible.
This year’s election is an important one, and we encourage everyone to take part, whether it’s during early voting or on election day itself. By exercising your right to vote, you’re making your voice heard, and every vote counts!
Gather your friends, family, and neighbors and let’s all rally together to make this election cycle a participatory one. Share this information with anyone who might need a little nudge to get involved. Remember, your vote is your voice, and it matters!
