Which primary ballot you request is still your decision, and you will be given the ballot you request and allowed to vote.
EARLY VOTING starts WED, APR 15 through 30. Ask for the Democratic primary ballot, because our candidates work for families, not billionaires; for fair wages, affordable housing, excellent public schools, and clean air and water. Your vote will show your support for progressive change in TN.
Don't miss our Spring Gala May 15 at the Airport Hilton. Our Keynote speaker is DNC Vice-Chair Malcom Kenyatta. Local artists are donating some of their artwork to our Silent Auction. Help us raise money to get Dems elected! Get tickets here: www.blountdems.org/event-detail...
Make your plan to vote. During EARLY VOTING, you can vote at any of these locations. If you vote on ELECTION DAY MAY 5, you will need to vote at your precinct location.
Primaries are where voters say this is the party going in the direction I want to go. Primaries are where candidates see if they have the support of the voting public. Decisions are made in primaries and you have a say, but only if you vote. So make a plan to vote. EARLY VOTING STARTS APR 15!
Which Blount County primary should you be voting in? ALL of them, as neatly explained on our little graphic. Primaries determine who gets to run in the general elections. Your vote for a candidate shows your support, and encourages them in their journey. EARLY VOTING starts in just 5 days!
Volunteers do the most to effect the outcome of an election, because they do the critical work of getting out the vote (GOTV.) Join us EVERY WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY IN APRIL and together we will change the odds. Reaching voters is how we win. RSVP on www.blountdems.org/events #democracyinaction
Every Saturday in April, join us for some coffee and write some postcards to eligible voters to encourage them to vote in every election and to always vote for their own party in primaries, so that the results more accurately reflect that we are here, we are active, and our numbers are growing.
THIS WEDNESDAY! Let's call Democratic voters and make sure they come out and vote in the MAY 5 primary, to support candidates & show Blount County we are growing in numbers. Bring your cell phone (plus a tablet or laptop if you have one) and tell voters every election matters and every vote matters.
While city elections are spread out among the 3 election dates, everyone votes in the primary for Blount County (MAY 5), in the state and federal primary (AUG 6), and of course we all vote to elect who will serve us at the state and federal level (NOV 3).
I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Blount County” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
We the people are run our elections, check our IDs, direct us to the right booth, and make sure we feed our paper copies into the counting machines. We don't need ICE agents looking over our shoulders or pseudo FBI walking off with our ballot boxes.
