Is it too late to register to vote in Tennessee and how do voters check their status?

For those hoping to register at the last-minute before Tuesday's election, it's too late.

That means you won't get to cast a ballot on any of the state and local races or for president.

In Davidson County, voters will not only decide on several large state races, like the Marsha Blackburn and Gloria Johnson U.S. Senate ticket, but they'll also be voting on Nashville's $3.1 billion transit referendum, which will fund improvements to the city's bus system, sidewalks, traffic signals and more.

All voters heading to polls Tuesday should bring their driver's license or a photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security. College student IDs are not acceptable.

Is it too late to register for Tuesday's election?

Voters needed to register no more than 30 days prior to the Nov. 5 election. The election commission office will process by-mail voter registration forms that were postmarked at least 30 days before the election.
