Election Day
Voters in Williamson County can cast their ballot at any voting center in the county. See a map of Franklin and Brentwood locations below.
Absentee voting
The state of Tennessee permits registered voters to cast their ballot by mail if they qualify for one of 15 exemptions, including being age 60 or older and being an active member of the military.
This year, Tennessee has included an exemption for caretakers of people who have underlying health conditions that may make them more susceptible to COVID-19 or those who would be at greater risk should they contract it.
Additionally, registered voters with disabilities that prevent them from filling out a print absentee ballot may request an accessible ballot via email.
How to cast an absentee ballot
- Find and fill out an absentee-by-mail application from the Tennessee Secretary of State’s Office website: www.sos.tn.gov.
- Mail the application before Oct. 27.
- The Williamson County Election Commission will mail an absentee ballot.
- Fill out the ballot and return it before polls close on Election Day, Nov. 3. Ballots cannot be hand-delivered to the election office. They must be mailed.
