Tennessee early voting remains below 20% with days left

Early voting remains below one-fifth

Fewer than 20% of Tennessee voters had cast an early ballot with only days remaining in the early-voting period. Put another way, fewer than one in five voters had participated through early voting at that point.

The percentage is a statewide snapshot taken before early voting ended. It can still increase as additional ballots are cast during the remaining days, so it should not be read as the final early-voting figure.

The number also measures early voting rather than total participation in the election. It does not establish how many voters will ultimately cast ballots once all voting is complete.

What the figure shows

The central measure is the share of Tennessee voters who had already voted early: below 20%. Because the figure is expressed as a percentage, it describes the portion of voters who participated early rather than an exact number of ballots.

The timing matters. With the early-voting period still open, each remaining day can add ballots and change the statewide percentage. The final early-voting share will not be known until that period has ended and its ballots have been counted in the statewide total.

No candidate or individual race is directly tied to this statewide participation figure. The next meaningful updates will be the totals recorded during the remaining early-voting days and the final figure after early voting closes.
