What to bring

You must show an ID with your name and photo, issued by the federal or Tennessee state government:

  • Tennessee driver’s license (you do not need a REAL ID)
  • U.S. passport
  • Tennessee Department of Safety photo ID
  • U.S. military photo ID, active or retired
  • Tennessee handgun carry permit with your photo

These may be expired, unless you are voting in Davidson County for the first time. Student IDs, library cards and IDs from cities, counties or other states are not accepted. You do not need your voter registration card.

What is on the ballot

The Nov. 3 ballot is the State and Federal General Election, plus city elections in Belle Meade, Forest Hills and Goodlettsville. Depending on your address, it includes:

  • Governor: Marsha Blackburn (Republican nominee), Jerri Green (Democratic nominee) and 13 independent candidates
  • U.S. Senate: Bill Hagerty (Republican nominee), Marquita Bradshaw (Democratic nominee) and eight independent candidates
  • U.S. House: races in the 4th, 6th and 7th congressional districts, depending on where you live
  • Tennessee Senate and House seats
  • Three amendments to the Tennessee Constitution: on denying bail before trial for certain serious crimes; on barring a state property tax; and on rights for crime victims

Read the full sample ballot before you go.

Congressional districts changed this year. The General Assembly adopted new congressional districts in May, and the Election Commission mailed new canary yellow voter cards in the summer. Use the new card; destroy older ones.

One Election Day location change: voters in District 19, Precinct 5, normally assigned to the Downtown Library, will vote at the Howard Office Building, 700 President Ronald Reagan Way, because the library’s parking garage is closed.

Absentee voting

Tennessee allows absentee voting by mail only for voters who qualify, for example if you are 60 or older, will be out of the county for all of early voting and Election Day, are ill or disabled or caring for someone who is, or are in the military or living overseas. The last day to request an absentee ballot for Nov. 3 is Saturday, Oct. 24. The request form is on the absentee page.

Registering and updating your address

The deadline to register for the Nov. 3 election was Oct. 5, according to the Metro Council Office; registering now counts for later elections. Register or update your address online at GoVoteTN.gov with a Tennessee driver’s license or state photo ID. The Election Commission says more than 471,000 voters are registered in Davidson County.

What this means for you

  • Avoid the Election Day line: the evening early voting hours on Tuesday and Thursday are the longest.
  • Check your new voter card for your congressional district and polling place before Nov. 3.
