NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett today reminded all eligible voters within the 7th Congressional District across 14 counties that they must register to vote by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 3, to be eligible to cast a ballot in the Dec. 2 Special General Election to fill the vacancy in the 7th Congressional District.
“When you don’t vote, you turn over the keys of government to those who do vote. In Tennessee, we want every eligible Tennessean to vote, but the first step is registering to vote,” said Secretary Hargett. “This election will have national implications. If you have not registered or need to update your information, we encourage you to do so before the registration deadline.”
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 Nov. 3.
Election Day registration is not available in Tennessee.
