Get out to vote!

The official way to check your voter registration in Tennessee. This resource, from the office of the Secretary of State, can help you check your voter registration status, absentee ballot status, and also provides information about address changes, voting by mail, early voting, and more.

If you want to go one step further, check your registration with the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), the method recommended on usa.gov to "confirm your voter registration number and if you are still registered" and "verify your name, address, political party, and polling place".

Lastly, if you're looking for a more friendly tool check out one of many tools created by nonprofits to help check your voter registration status. This one from Vote.org is our favorite. Vote.org is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization and does not support or oppose any political candidate or party.

Ballotpedia is our favorite tool for ballot research for one reason, their tool is in our opinion the most non-partisan. It shows every candidate for every office that will appear on your ballot, allowing you to choose your elected officials based on who they are and what they stand for.

Ballotready is also an excellent tool for ballot research, although their ballot tool is set up in a more partisan manner. Many Independent voters may find it challenging to switch back and forth between Republican, Independent, and Democratic tickets to choose candidates from more than one party. However, they do an excellent job of researching candidates and provide accurate, condensed information.
