A Mr. and Mrs. K. Kringle showed up in person to register to vote on National Voter Registration Day. They managed to pry themselves away from the workshop just to register to vote, and they want you to register as well.

Don't be on Santa's naughty list! Register online at https://ovr.govote.tn.gov/ or visit one of our two offices by October 5th to register to vote!

Today is the last day before a well-deserved retirement for John Longmire. John (third from right in photo of Election Commission team members) has been an integral and vital part of Election Commission operations for 23 years as our liaison with the Knox County IT department, and no one person can fill his shoes.

His duties and responsibilities are far too long to list, but needless to say, voters in Knox County have been the recipients of his hard work and dedication to getting the job done in a efficient and timely manner - it will be a team effort to replace all that John brought to our team.

Congratulations to John and his wife Patty on many happy years in retirement! He will be missed!
