Early voting for the upcoming general election will officially kick off on Wednesday, Oct. 14, and lasts through Oct. 29.
But what's on the ballot? Where and when can you vote in Williamson and Maury counties?
For your convenience, the Home Page has put together this guide to help Williamson and Maury County residents with everything they need to know about participating in the 2020 election.
Voting requirements
Residents will need to be registered to vote. Click here to find out if you're registered.
If registered, voters will need to bring a state or federally issued photo ID with them to vote. An expired I.D. will still suffice. First-time voters in Tennessee must also bring with them proof of residency, which can be a utility bill or piece of mail with the voter's name and address on it.
Voters who have moved elsewhere within the same county but have not updated their place of residence through the state's voter registration system may still participate in the election, though are required to take certain steps.
These voters who have moved within the same county are encouraged to take advantage of the early voting period, as voters can cast their ballots at any of the polling places within their county. These voters can also update their address in the process.
Those who have moved within their county but wait until election day may still vote, however, they must fill out an affidavit before being allowed to vote.
