Students 18 By November 5, Eligible to Vote in Upcoming Election
Monday, October 7, 2024, at 11:50 p.m. is the last date eligible Tennessee residents may register to vote in the Tuesday, November 5, 2024, State and Federal General Election. If you have a child (I’ve got one) who will turn 18 before or on November 5, they will be eligible to vote!
“When you don’t vote, you turn over the keys of power to those that do vote. In Tennessee, we want every eligible Tennessean to vote, but first, you must register to vote,” said Secretary Hargett. “To make your voice heard in the upcoming election, Tennesseans must register or make sure their registration is current before the deadline.”
Registering to vote, updating, or checking your registration status is fast, easy, and secure with the Secretary of State’s online voter registration system, GoVoteTN.gov, or the GoVoteTN App.
Using a computer, phone, or tablet, citizens with a driver’s license or a photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security can register in a matter of minutes.
Voters can also download a paper voter registration application at GoVoteTN.gov. Completed paper voter registration applications must be mailed to your local county election commission office or submitted in person. Mailed voter registrations must be postmarked by Monday, October 7, 2024. Election Day registration is not available in Tennessee.
Early voting for the Tuesday, November 5, 2024, State and Federal General Election begins Wednesday, October 16, 2024, and runs through Thursday, October 31, 2024.
