This is the last day of early voting in
Tennessee.
Turnout has been heavy so far, and polls are expected to be busy
today.
Through Monday, more than 587-thousand people have participated
in early voting.
State election coordinator Brook Thompson says this is a 48
percent increase over the same period during the midterm elections
four years ago.
Thompson expects the total early voting turnout to rise to about
800-thousand because the final three days are typically the
heaviest.
University of Tennessee political science professor Anthony
Nownes called the numbers “amazing.”
He predicts a large turnout on Election Day as well and
attributes it to the close U-S Senate race between Democrat Harold
Ford Junior and Republican Bob Corker.
Local turnout has been moderate to heavy. The polls at the election commission office will remain open until 4:30 p.m. today.
