Interested candidates have until February 28, 2025, to apply. With over 163,000 early votes already cast, Knox County is gearing up for an active Election Day on November 5. Free rides will be available for voters, encouraging higher participation.
If you’re looking to get involved in your community and have a passion for ensuring fair elections, Knox County has an exciting opportunity just for you. The Knox County Legislative Delegation is now accepting applications for its Election Commission. This commission plays a crucial role, overseeing the administration of elections in our vibrant county—a function that not only keeps our democracy running but also makes sure every voice is heard.
The Knox County Election Commission is made up of five members, with three from the Republican party and two from the Democratic party. Members are appointed for two-year terms, and their mission is simple but significant: to ensure smooth, fair, and transparent elections. If you have the right qualifications and a strong desire to help your community, your application could be highly valued.
Interested candidates should send in their resumes via email by February 28, 2025. Once the Knox County Legislative Delegation reviews the applications, they will recommend qualified individuals to the State Election Commission. The final appointments will be made in early April, so mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this opportunity.
As it stands, Knox County is buzzing with activity as over 163,000 registered voters have already cast their early votes. Additionally, more than 7,500 absentee and nursing home votes have rolled in. With a total of 318,311 active registered voters in the county, we’re seeing a turnout of about 54%. Talk about civic engagement!
Election Day is just around the corner, set for Tuesday, November 5 which is sure to be a busy day at the polls. They will open bright and early at 8 a.m. ET and remain open until 8 p.m. ET in Knoxville. Curious about where to vote? You can easily find your polling location at sos.tn.gov/govotetn.
With all that early voting, the anticipation is building, and long lines are expected on Election Day, especially right before and after work. But there’s some good news: if you’re in line when the polls close, you are still allowed to cast your vote. Just make sure to be there on time!
For those who requested absentee ballots, remember that these must be mailed and cannot be hand-delivered. However, Knox County voters have the option to bring unmailed ballots to two designated post offices before 4 p.m. on November 5. For anyone who might forget their voter ID, don’t worry! You can still cast a provisional ballot, which will count as long as you provide the necessary identification within two business days.
The Knox County Election Commission, located at the Old Courthouse on 300 Main St., Suite 229 in downtown Knoxville, has everything you need to prepare for the big day. Sample ballots are published on the election website, giving you a sneak peek at what you will be voting on. It’s also important to note, voters are not allowed to wear candidate promotional gear inside polling places, and all mobile devices must be on silent mode with no calls or photos permitted.
This year’s ballot will include races for the state House district, where incumbent State Representative Elaine Davis faces off against Democratic challenger Bryan Goldberg. Additionally, voters will consider a proposed amendment that could change Knoxville’s city election system, along with various other congressional and state Senate contests.
In an effort to encourage everyone to come out and vote, Knoxville Area Transit will offer free rides on Election Day! Plus, there will be a hotline from the Tennessee Secretary of State’s Office available for any voter inquiries.
So, are you ready for the upcoming election? With opportunities to serve on the Election Commission and record-breaking early voting, it’s an exciting time in Knoxville. Be sure to get informed, make your voice heard, and don’t forget to vote!
