田纳西州近27%选民已提前投票：高于2022年、低于2018年
田纳西州提前投票已经结束。据田纳西州选举部门统计，全州已有近27%的选民为11月3日选举提前投票或寄回缺席选票。《田纳西人报》10月31日报道了这批数据。
这一数字比2022年州长 Bill Lee 连任时的提前投票高出45%，但比2018年上一次州长开放竞选时的提前投票总数少7%。约12个县的提前投票已超过2018年水平，纳什维尔周边地区与上东田纳西部分县增幅最明显：克拉克斯维尔所在的蒙哥马利县约21%选民已投票，比2018年高5%。
与此同时，许多乡村县的提前投票出现两位数下滑。三大都市县也略低于2018年：戴维森县、谢尔比县与诺克斯县各约31%的登记选民已经投票。选民仍可在11月3日选举日当天投票。
Nearly 27% of Tennessee Voters Have Already Cast Ballots
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nearly 27 percent of Tennessee voters have already cast early or absentee ballots for the November 3 election, according to statistics from the Tennessee Division of Elections reported by The Tennessean on October 31.
The figure is a 45 percent increase over early voting in 2022, when Governor Bill Lee was reelected, but still 7 percent below the early-vote total in 2018, the last open governor's race. About a dozen counties have surpassed their 2018 early-vote levels, with the strongest gains around Nashville and in parts of upper East Tennessee; Montgomery County, home to Clarksville, is at about 21 percent, up 5 points from 2018.
Many rural counties, by contrast, are down by double digits, and the three big urban counties — Davidson, Shelby and Knox — each stand at about 31 percent of registered voters, slightly below 2018. Voters can still cast ballots on Election Day, November 3.
