Tennessee Counties All Have Updated Mail Voting Info

Tennessee's elections coordinator says all 95 counties have updated their websites or written materials to reflect a judge's ruling that every eligible voter can choose to vote by mail during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Elections Coordinator Mark Goins confirmed the updates by counties Wednesday in a court filing ordered by Davidson County Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle.

That includes updated written materials from 12 counties without election commission websites.

Last month, Lyle ordered Goins to tell counties to update their information after plaintiffs attorneys named 20 counties with absentee request forms or other website information that didn’t correctly reference COVID-19 as a reason to vote absentee.
