Early voting turnout in Tennessee more than triples 2016 in first two days

A global pandemic isn’t slowing down early voting for Tennessee’s primary. In fact, on Friday and Saturday, more than three times as many people voted early compared with the first two days of early voting in 2016’s primary election.

More than 91,000 early voters cast ballots Friday and Saturday, according to data released by the Secretary of State Division of Elections – a 234 percent increase over the same period in 2016 and a 180 percent increase over the same period in 2012.
