Tennessee voters need to register by Monday, Feb. 1, if they want to participate.
“Every time that the national election comes along, everybody gets re-energized," League of Women Voters committee member Helen Tews said. "People want to be able to vote in November, and if they want to select which candidate for which party, both nationally and locally, they have to start voting in these primaries.”
A few key things to establish before voting:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be a U.S. citizen. You must also be a Tennessee resident to vote in the state.
- You must have a state or federally issued photo I.D.
“On election day, Mar. 1, the lines will be long," Tews said. "If you wait till that day, we expect a large turnout.”
If you have not registered yet, you can print out an application form on the Knox County election website.
If you don't remember if you've registered, you can check that, too.
It also shows polling locations and other information about upcoming elections.
The final day to register for the 2016 Knox County general election is July 5. Election Day is Aug. 4.
The last day to register to vote in the 2016 presidential general election is Oct. 11, and the election is on Nov. 8.
