Citizens in Montgomery County are encouraged to utilize the early voting period for the October 7 Special Primary Election to select nominees to fill the vacancy in the United States House of Representatives, District 7. Tennessee has been ranked number one in the nation for election integrity for the fourth year in a row, and early voting is a safe and secure way to cast a ballot before Election Day.

“This is an important election, and every vote will matter,” said Amanda Joslin, the Montgomery County Administrator of Elections. “Go vote during early voting or on Election Day and help decide who will represent your party in the race for the 7th Congressional District.”
