Tennessee

ABOUT THIS STATE
We had a whole different thing written for Tennessee when we found out your nickname was the Volunteer State because of the role volunteer soldiers played in the War of 1812. Good news: We have plenty of things for you to do that are not as risky as the Battle of New Orleans. Like vote. Here’s what you need to know to be a voter (and volunteer) in Tennessee this year. Tennessee will be holding its statewide primary and general elections on August 4 and November 8, respectively. Local elections will be taking place on May 3 as well. (Source: Ballot Ready)
