NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WRKN) — If you want to cast your ballot in the Aug. 3 municipal election, you have until Wednesday to register to vote. The cutoff for voter registration for the Metro general election is July 5, according to the Davidson County Election Commission.
Voter eligibility requires you to be a citizen of the United States at least 18 years of age or older. In order to vote in the Davidson County elections, you must be a resident of Davidson County.
If you've previously been convicted of a felony offense, your eligibility to register and vote depends upon the crime you were convicted of and the date of that conviction, according to the Tennessee Secretary of State's office. People may regain their voter eligibility if they've had their convictions expunged or if they've had their voting rights restored, unless they were convicted of a crime that does not allow for voting rights restoration.

If you'd like to register online, simply go to GoVoteTN.Gov and click "Voter Registration."

You can also pick up an application at the Department of Health (WIC program), Department of Human Services, Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Department of Mental Health, Department of Safety (motor vehicles division), and the Department of Veteran's Affairs.
The Davidson County Election Commission office is located at the Metro Southeast Facility, 1417 Murfreesboro Pike, and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
