Tennessee Secretary of State
In 11 days, more than 1.8 million Tennesseans voted early, a turnout that “smashes” the state’s early voting record for turnout.
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett said when polls closed Monday, 1,808,546 voters had cast ballots ahead of Election Day on November 3rd. The number beat the previous record set during the 2016 presidential election when 1,689,989 voters cast early ballots. 
Monday’s total shows an average of 164,413 Tennessee voters casting ballots each day. Should that average carry on through Thursday, more than 2.3 million Tennessee voters will have voted early this year.
“This election, Tennesseans are engaged and are taking advantage of the convenience of early voting,” Hargett said in a statement. “In the final days of early voting as well as on election day, Tennesseans can cast their votes in clean, safe, and secure environment.”
The final day of early voting is Thursday. Election day is Tuesday.
