NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Early voting for the Presidential Preference Primary began on Feb. 14 and continues until Feb. 27.
“Early voting is an easy way for all registered Tennesseans to cast their ballots before the March 5 Presidential Preference Primary,” said State Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins. “Registered Tennesseans will likely experience shorter wait times at polling locations during early voting; therefore, we encourage them to cast a ballot early.”
The Presidential Preference Primary is where voters can select which candidate they prefer to be nominated.
You can find your polling location and view a sample ballot, along with other election and voter registration information, on the voting website.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
