Turnout in Knox County early voting is
slightly ahead of turnout from the 2008 presidential election,
according to a release sent out by the election commission. So far,
24,417 folks have hit the ballot boxes compared to 24,123 in 2008.
“Early voting is a flexible and
convenient option for many voters,” Knox County Administrator of
Elections Cliff Rodgers said in a prepared statement. “Voters enjoy
avoiding lines on election day.”
Residents can still vote early at nine
spots. Polls are open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. During the week and from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. (The Deathstar location closes daily
at 5 p.m., opens at noon on Thursday and will be open from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. this Saturday.)
Rodgers suggests that people who have
moved recently, vote early. Just in case.
“We can process your change of
address at any early voting location,” he said. “Remember, no
matter where you live in Knox County, if you're registered to vote,
you can vote at any early voting location.”
He also encouraged voters to study the
proposed charter amendments.
