Tennessee Primary Election Day: What Davidson County Voters Need to Know
Republicans are seeking a sweep of Tennessee’s nine congressional districts as voters also choose nominees for governor, Senate and House races.
- On Thursday, Tennessee voters head to the polls to choose nominees for governor, U.S. Senate, Congress, and state legislative seats in the state's primary election.

- Davidson County election officials expect about 50,000 voters to cast ballots Thursday, with poll workers staffing a support center and maintaining contingency plans for smooth operations.
- About 4,300 miles away, Hawaii voters also cast ballots in their primary elections, with winners from both states advancing to the general election on November 3.
