Summary
Tennessee voters will pick party nominees on Aug. 6 for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the state House and odd-numbered state Senate districts.
July 17 through Aug. 1 is the early-voting window, while the absentee ballot request deadline is July 27; the voter registration deadline for the primary has already passed.
Tennessee runs an open primary, letting registered voters choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot, but not both, and all voters must present a valid photo ID.
Nov. 3 is the general election date, with candidate qualifying due Aug. 20 and withdrawal due Aug. 27 for state and federal races that advance beyond the primary.
