COVID-19 has created record requests for absentee ballots in the August primary and the November election is expected to be no different.
The list of things in Tennessee that allows you to vote absentee no longer includes COVID-19 specifically as a reason like it did during the August primary, but there’s plenty of other reasons listed on county election websites concerning COVID-19, such as being hospitalized, ill, or physically disabled.
Absentee ballot requests must be received at your local election commission by October 27.
For November, absentee ballots must be received at county election commissions by the day of the general election on November 3.
