Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett is reminding all eligible voters across Tennessee that they must register to vote by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, to be eligible to cast a ballot in the upcoming Primary Election on Thursday, August 6. “When you don’t vote, you turn over the keys of government to those who do. Here in Tennessee, we want every eligible citizen to cast a ballot, but the first step is registering,” said Secretary Hargett.
Registering to vote, updating, or checking your registration status is fast, easy, and secure with the Secretary of State’s online voter registration system, GoVoteTN.gov, or the GoVoteTN App. Using a computer, phone, or tablet, citizens with a driver’s license or a photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security can register in a matter of minutes.
“For the fourth year in a row, the State of Tennessee has been ranked number one in Election Integrity. We want all eligible Tennesseans to register to vote and cast a ballot in this election to experience our secure elections and let their voices be heard,” said Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins.
Voters can also download a paper voter registration application at GoVoteTN.gov. Completed paper voter registration applications must be mailed to your local county election commission office or submitted in person. Mailed voter registrations must be postmarked by August 6.
Election Day registration is not available in Tennessee.
The Early Voting period for the August 6 Primary Election begins Friday, July 17, and runs through Saturday, August 1.
