We've talked to all of the mayoral candidates over the course of the last several weeks about issues they think are important for the city. You can watch every one of those videos here.
The mayoral race could be decided by the primary election. If a candidate receives 50% of the vote plus one vote, there will not be a need for a runoff in November.
The regular election will be Nov. 5.
There are nearly 92,000 active voters in the city, and at least 10,000 of them cast votes during the early voting period. Election officials are hoping to get that same number on Election Day.

WHERE DO I GO?
Starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday, 40 polling precincts will open its doors. If you're in line when polls close at 8 p.m., you can still vote.
Unlike early voting, you must go to a specific location to cast your vote on actual Election Day.

Be aware if you live in the Oakwood/Lincoln Park area and voted in 2018 at Christenberry Elementary School, your Election Day polling place has changed. You will vote at Lincoln Park Center on Chickamauga Avenue.
If you need a ride to cast your vote, KAT buses will be running for free on Election Day.

Other things to keep in mind; no ballot selfies! It's illegal to take photos or video while voting.
