Today is the Last Day to Register to Vote for the Presidential Preference & County Primaries

 Montgomery County residents must register to vote by Feb. 5,
2024, to cast their ballots in the March 5 Presidential Preference Primary and County Primary
Elections. The Montgomery County Election Commission office will be open on Saturday, Feb 3
from 9 a.m. to Noon to assist voters needing to vote or updated their registration.
“If Montgomery County voters have not already registered, we encourage all eligible residents to
do so,” said Elizabeth Black, Administrator of Elections for Montgomery County. “Registering to
vote and casting your ballot ensures your voice will be heard.”
Early voting begins Feb. 14 and runs through Feb. 27, 2024. The deadline to request Absentee
Ballots has also been set for Feb. 27, 2024. Tennesseans can register to vote, view a sample ballot,
determine polling locations, see voter ID requirements, and important election dates — including
the start of the early voting period by downloading the GoVoteTN app.
“I encourage all Tennesseans to register to vote or ensure their registration is up to date before the
deadline,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “It is important for all of us to make our voice heard
at the polls and with our convenient online voter registration system, you can safely register in
minutes.”
Paper voter registration applications are also available to download on GoVoteTN.gov or at the
Montgomery County Election Commission office. Completed paper voter registration applications
must be mailed to the Montgomery County Election Commission or submitted in person.
The Montgomery County Election Commission is located at 350 Pageant Lane, suite 404 or can
be mailed to P.O. Box 422, Clarksville, TN 37041. Voters can drop off completed registration
forms or register in person Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Voters should be proud that the Heritage Foundation ranks Tennessee number one in the nation
for election integrity, and the Secretary of State’s office is also Tennessee’s trusted source for all
election information — including the GoVoteTN app.
