Early voting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tomorrow, October 31, is the last day to early vote in Tennessee before election day.

According to Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett's office, more than 1.7 million voters already cast their ballot during early voting. In-person turnout is at more than 1.64 million — which has outpaced the 2020 numbers.

Our Chris Davis did a report on what early voting totals look like this year in comparison to 2020, if you want to get a more in-depth look at the numbers.

In Davidson County, the voting precincts will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for voters on Friday. If you are unsure where to go to vote, we have the schedule for you!

All you need to bring is your valid photo identification — 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.

She's carrying her husband's legacy to raise money for Alzheimer's research

I am so inspired by Sheila Gann's love for her husband and her resilience. Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how cruel this disease is - not only for the patient but also for those who love and care for them. Mike and Sheila clearly had a remarkable love story, and she is now honoring that in the most beautiful way. Thanks to Forrest Sanders for sharing their story.
