Early Voting Begins Wednesday in Tennessee

Early voting kicks off Wednesday in Tennessee for the Nov. 7 state and federal general elections. In Memphis, early voting will run for two weeks at the Election Commission headquarters downtown and in 18 satellite locations spread throughout Shelby County. It ends Nov. 2.

Citizens can cast ballots at any of the sites, regardless of which precinct they live in. A voter registration card is not required to vote, but some form of legal identification is needed.
