Coffee County voters continue to cast ballots ahead of the Aug. 6 election, with early voting surpassing the 2 percent mark after the first three days.
Coffee County Election Commission Administrator Andy Farrar released updated turnout figures Monday evening, showing that 788 ballots have been cast out of 38,647 registered voters, representing just over 2 percent voter participation.
Among the county’s voting locations, Grace Baptist Church in Tullahoma has recorded the highest voter participation rate so far, with nearly 3.5 percent of registered voters assigned to that precinct having already voted.
Meanwhile, Trinity Baptist Church in Manchester has seen the highest overall number of ballots cast, with 121 votes recorded through the first three days of early voting.
Early voting will continue through Friday, Aug. 1, at two locations:
- Coffee County Administrative Plaza, 1329 McArthur St., Manchester
- C.D. Stamps Community Center, 810 S. Jackson St., Tullahoma
Hours at the Coffee County Administrative Plaza are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
At the C.D. Stamps Community Center, voting is available 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
