Tennessee's Early Voting Numbers Surpass 2018 Levels Ahead of Primary Elections
Early voting for Tennessee's primary elections ended with 635,319 voters participating, surpassing the 2018 turnout. The Republican early voters outnumbered Democrats, with 396,677 to 225,293. The primary elections, scheduled for August 6, will feature key races, including the gubernatorial and congressional contests. The redistricting of Tennessee's congressional districts has led to changes in voter demographics and candidate line-ups. Notably, the 9th Congressional District, previously represented by Democrat Steve Cohen, has been split, affecting Shelby County's representation.
