626 Votes Cast During Early Voting, Republicans and Democrats Evenly Split in Primary Preference

Early voting ended earlier this week with 626 individuals casting a ballot in Hardeman County in the Presidential Preference Primary and County Primary Election. The voters were exactly evenly split in their preference of which primary to vote in with 313 voting in the Republican Primary and 313 voting in the Democratic Primary. The numbers from early voting include in-person early voters, absentee by-mail ballots submitted by voters, and voters at licensed facilities. 

The last day of early voting brought out 180 voters, the highest number of any day, while Saturday, February 17, 2024, was the slowest day with only seven ballots cast.

The early voting turnout has declined in Hardeman County, with only 626 ballots cast during early voting. Tennessee’s Secretary of State reports that 801 ballots were cast during the early voting period for the 2020 Presidential Primary and 1,111 early votes were cast in the 2016 Presidential Primary.

The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, March 5, 2024. You may see the full sample ballot below.
