    Citizens in McMinn County are encouraged to utilize the early voting period for the May 5 Primary Election to select party nominees for McMinn County offices. Tennessee is ranked number one in the nation for election integrity for the fourth year in a row, and early voting is a safe and secure way to cast a ballot before Election Day. “Every election is always important, and each vote will matter in having your voice heard,” said Bridgett Prichard the McMinn County Administrator of Elections. “Go vote during the early voting period or on Election Day and help decide who will represent you.” Early voting runs through April 30, and voters can find hours and polling locations, view sample ballots, and much more by visiting GoVoteTN.gov or downloading the Secretary of State’s free GoVoteTN app. “Election officials throughout your county are working hard to ensure voters can cast their ballots safely and effectively,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “I encourage all eligible voters to consider voting during the robust early voting period.” Tennesseans voting early or on Election Day should remember to bring valid photo identification to the polls. A driver's license or photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, by the Tennessee state government, or by the federal government are acceptable even if they are expired. College student IDs are not acceptable.
