Election 2023: Early voting ends Thursday

Here's what you need to know ahead of the Nov. 7 Knoxville general election.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The time to vote in the Knoxville city general election is now a day away.  Just a reminder -- only city residents can take part.

Early voting starts Wednesday, Oct. 18, and continues through Thursday, Nov. 2. Election Day itself is Tuesday, Nov. 7. You can find a list of early voting locations and times on the Knox County Election Commission's website.

Along with the Knoxville municipal judge race, there are four City Council seats open -- three at-large seats, representing the entire city, and North Knoxville's 5th District, which is represented by incumbent Charles Thomas. He is unopposed.

Each office has a four-year term.

There will not be a mayoral race on this ballot because incumbent Mayor Indya Kincannon secured a majority of votes in the August primary elections.

Here's a sample ballot.

The candidates for city municipal judge are John Rosson, the incumbent, and Tyler Caviness.

The candidate for At-large Seat A is incumbent Lynne Fugate. Cameron Brooks was a candidate but died in early September.

The candidates for At-large Seat B are Debbie Helsley and Bentley Marlow.

The candidates for At-large Seat C are incumbent Amelia Parker and Tim Hill.

You have the option of voting early at multiple centers starting Oct. 18. Voting at the centers generally will be Monday-Saturday.

If you're taking part in this fall's city election, you must produce valid photo identification such as a driver's license.
