Voter registration deadline
The voter registration deadline is approaching for the August election, according to Josh Blanchard, Cocke County Administrator of Elections. The Cocke County Election Commission is urging residents to make sure they are registered by the deadline, July 7, in order to be eligible to vote in the State Primary and County General on August 6. The election commission will be closed this Friday, July 3, for Independence Day. Otherwise, the election commission office is open weekdays 8 am – 4 pm for residents to register to vote in-person. The Cocke County Election Commission office is located in the Courthouse Annex, on Main Street in Newport. Residents may also register to vote online at www.GoVoteTN.com. Residents must have a record with the Tennessee Department of Safety in order to use the Tennessee Online Voter Registration system. New residents or those who have yet to get a Tennessee Driver License will have to register by paper form or in-person. Voter registration forms submitted by US Mail must be postmarked by July 7. If you want to vote Absentee By-Mail, you need to have either registered to vote in-person or have voted at least once in-person in Cocke County. If you have registered to vote by-mail or through the Tennessee Online Voter Registration System and have never voted in Cocke County since registering, you may visit the Cocke County Election Commission office to update your registration in-person in order to qualify to vote Absentee By-Mail. Voter registration does not automatically transfer from county to county or from another state.
