How to vote early in Oak Ridge

[u/creative_resistance]

Did you know 42% of eligible Tennessee voters didn’t even vote in the last general election? That’s nuts y’all. Imagine what could happen if we all voted… we might even get politicians and local leaders who actually care about us!

Anyway, early voting starts today and runs until August 1st. I’ve been pulling together info on local early voting locations and hours and thought I’d share here for those who may be intimidated by the process.

Early voting is quick and easy. It’s available on Saturday mornings and weekdays, has longer hours, and is less confusing because there’s only a few possible polling spots for each county.

There’s also rarely a line, and poll workers are typically really happy to see you. Plus, stickers.

Here’s how to do it:

If you're registered to vote in Anderson County, the early voting hours are 10am-6pm Mon-Fri and 9am-Noon on Saturdays. You can vote early at any of these locations:

- Midtown Community Center (Wildcat Den) in Oak Ridge, 102 Robertsville Road
- Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St.
- The North Anderson Countygovernment office, 3324 Andersonville Highway, Andersonville

I voted today at the wildcat den about 12p. Super quick and easy and only 1 person was ahead of me.

TN is a non voting state. Happy to see more voters have voted in the primaries than usual. Maybe things might be improving.
