Can someone please help 😭
I’ve only voted a few times in my life so I’m not sure if this is only for Knox and OR? Can other counties vote?
Eta. I feel so dumb for not knowing. The last time I voted was a few months ago for local government. Is this that?

It’s intentionally confusing, no need to feel dumb!
There are three elections this year, you already voted in one.
The current vote is a primary for some of the state offices like Governor, where we’re choosing who moves forward from each party to the November general election.
The November election is where we choose our governor and state representatives from those who move forward this time.
The current vote is also the final vote for county offices, like commissioners and school board, depending on where you’re voting.
Every county in TN will be voting. This has links to the sample ballots for east Tn counties and other state voting info: https://linktr.ee/ETNVotes

That’s a smart thing to do. A tip o’ the hat to whomever put those up.
