Candidate forums, plus VOTE 411, provide nonpartisan voter information for the November election

Last updated Sept. 13

Activities and events are gearing up for the November 8 election. This election will include

  • general elections for state offices,

  • local elections for Smyrna, La Vergne, and Eagleville, and

  • four constitutional amendments. Learn more about the amendments here on the LWV-TN website.

We will be updating this page with more resources as the election date approaches.

As usual, we plan to host candidate forums in October. We will be seeking volunteer time keepers, moderators and door greeters. These forums, produced in cooperation with our local governments, are a local League tradition to serve the community.

More about the candidate data on VOTE411

Local League volunteers have been reaching out in this election year to more than 70 local candidates, inviting them to participate in VOTE411.

While the online voting tool shows all candidates for each applicable district or zone, not all candidates have yet participated by answering a few questions.

If a candidate you know hasn’t yet participated, please tell them you’d like to see them more fully represented! Let them know they should have received an email or letter from the local League, or to reach out to VOTE411@lwvrutherford.org to get started. We will continue to update the guide up until election time.

We will continue to update this page with forum recordings.

For official voting information, including the early voting schedule and locations, see election.rutherfordcountytn.gov.
