Why should you vote?

  • Local elections impact all of us.

  • Local elected officials make decisions that impact all of us and our neighbors. 

  • This August, you have an opportunity to help decide who will serve Knox County by voting for candidates running for the Knox County Commission, Board of Education, Assessor of Property, Criminal Court Judge Division II District 6, and County Law Director. You can also vote in the Primary races for US Senate and US House of Representatives District 2, State Senate District 6, State House Representatives, Districts 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 89, and 90.

  • Visit the Knox County Election Commission (knoxvotes.org) for Voter Registration and Election Information.

  • Your vote matters!

ABOUT US

Voter Turnout Coalition is a nonpartisan collective network of community organizations and individuals that work together to increase registered voter turnout in local, state, and national elections. The organization serves the greater Knoxville community and targets registered voters in Knoxville and Knox County who did not vote in previous elections.

​

The coalition works toward a common goal to educate as well as develop positive relationships with registered nonvoters especially in low voter turnout communities.  During interactions and connections with registered nonvoters we share information regarding absentee voting, early voting, voting in Primary and General Elections, polling locations, and sample ballot information. Voters are encouraged to check their registration status and poll location. Being an informed voter is important for citizens to exercise their right to vote so their voices will be heard.
