KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It's time to exercise your right and head out to the polls.
Early voting begins Wednesday, Aug. 7, in Knoxville's primary election.
The sample ballot is only two pages long and includes the highly contested race for mayor between six candidates.
Other categories include City Council Seats A, B, C and District 5. Also, John R. Rosson Jr. is running unopposed for Municipal Judge.
You can cast your ballot at five different early voting locations: The City-County building, Downtown West, Love Kitchen, New Harvest Park, and Meridian Baptist Church.
In the mayoral race, if one candidate garners 50% of the vote plus one vote, they will go on to be Knoxville's next mayor. If not, the top two candidates will face off in a run-off election later this year.
Early voting ends on Thursday, Aug. 22. Election Day is August 27.
