BALLOT

NOTE: EVERY VOTER WILL RECEIVE TWO SHEETS (TWO PIECES OF PAPER) WITH RACES ON BOTH SIDES.
This ballot is a combination of:
- The Federal and State Primary ballot (Republican and Democratic)
- The Knox County General ballot (including all judicial positions, two district-only County Commission seats, and five school board seats)
- The Town of Farragut Municipal ballot, and
- Retention questions for twenty-six (26) Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Court of Criminal Appeals seats.
All told, this ballot features 58 to 61 different contests (depending on the voter’s address) for Knox County voters to cast a vote in.
When a prospective voter enters the polling place, shows their photo ID, and verifies their address, they will be asked in which primary they wish to vote. While voters in Tennessee DO NOT register by party, a voter must choose a primary if they choose to cast a ballot in the primary election.
