NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ahead of Early Voting, Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett is reminding all registered Tennessee voters to join the Honor Vote program and cast a ballot in honor of United States veterans or active-duty service members.
This year, Tennesseans who join the program will receive a special commemorative 250th Honor Vote button, celebrating America’s founding and the enduring sacrifice of the men and women who have protected or are currently protecting our freedom.
“At a time when our freedoms are on full display, the Honor Vote program offers Tennesseans a meaningful way to recognize those who defend them,” said Secretary Hargett. “Casting a ballot in someone’s honor is a simple yet powerful way to express our gratitude to the brave men and women who protect the United States of America.”
The Honor Vote program allows registered voters to dedicate their vote to a U.S. veteran or active-duty service member—a visible reminder that the right to vote has been secured through courage, sacrifice, and service.
Participants will receive an informational guide along with the limited-edition 2026 commemorative Honor Vote button, which they can proudly wear at the polls. Dedications will also be recognized on the official Tennessee Honor Vote List.
Tennesseans are encouraged to share their participation and tributes online using #GoVoteTN and #TNHonorVote, helping spread a message of gratitude and civic pride across the Volunteer State.
