Hamilton County saw historically low turnout in its August election, with only 15% of eligible voters participating, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Since then, the county has added about 8,000 new voter registrations, representing 80% of the voting-age population. As of last week, roughly 3,500 residents had requested absentee ballots. Tennesseans must register to vote by Oct. 7 to participate in the November general election, which will determine state and local representatives and decide a number of ballot issues.
