Giles County Election Commission Announces Start of Early Voting
Posted on July 05, 2012
Beginning Friday, July 13, registered voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the August 2 state primary, county general and Elkton City, Lynnville City and Minor Hill City elections.
Giles County Administrator of Elections Kathy Bassham is encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting.
“Early voting is a convenient way for voters to be sure their voices are heard,” said Bassham. “With this kind of flexibility, I hope that our voters will not miss this opportunity to exercise their right to vote.”
Early voting will be conducted at the Giles County Election Commission office. You may contact the Commission office at 363-2424 for more information regarding early voting hours and sample ballots. Early voting ends Saturday, July 28.
“I am grateful to the county election officials, poll workers, and others who are willing to put in the time and effort that goes into a successful election,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “Their hard work and dedication ensures that all Tennesseans have an opportunity to exercise their right to vote.”
Voters are reminded that they will need to present a state or federal issued photo ID in order to vote in person, whether during early voting or on Election Day.
Examples of acceptable forms of ID, whether current or expired, include driver licenses, U.S. passports, Department of Safety photo ID cards, U.S. military photo IDs and other state or federal government photo ID cards. College student IDs are not acceptable.
