Tennesseans who want to cast a ballot in the Aug. 4 State and Federal Primary & State and County General Election must register or update their voter registration before the voter registration deadline on Tuesday, July 5th.
“Going into this 4th of July holiday, I can’t think of a more patriotic thing to do than to register to vote,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “With our convenient online voter registration system, it’s never been easier or safer for Tennesseans to register to vote or update their registration.”

Sample ballot shows 26 Judicial Retention Questions. I believe the majority of voters do not have sufficient knowledge about these judges to make an informed choice. Could you please help by providing how these judges have ruled. I’m particularly interested in who has or has not supported the Constitution and the rights of citizens. Thanks for the work y’all are doing.
