NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Several churches are coming together in Nashville to host a voter registration drive as the deadline nears before the November general election.
Monday, Oct. 5, is the last day to register to vote in the election.
At the event, there will also be a voter education portion where voters can learn where their polling place is and what will be on their ballots in November.
"When we get to that ballot box, we know what we are going to do. We're not going to be surprised once we get there. Saturday you can come in with questions, but you can leave with a plan. It's that critically important for us to come together. Typically we think we are going to the ballot box alone, but on November 3, we are voting together. We want to make sure the neighborhoods are informed and have the proper tools they need to improve and shape their neighborhoods," said Alisha Haddock.
What: Ballots & Bites Voter Education and Voter Registration Drive
When: Saturday, October 3rd
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Where: Gordon Memorial United Methodist Church
The event is being held by Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Gordon Memorial United Methodist Church, and Howard Congregation UCC.

North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
