NASHVILLE – State officials say 41,579 Tennesseans cast early votes or absentee ballots through Monday in the Aug. 4 state primary races and county general election contests.

Hamilton County Election Commission figures, meanwhile, show a three-day total of 1,864 people already voting in county general election contests such as county school board and property assessor and state primaries for the state General Assembly and Congress.

Tennessee’s two-week early voting period began Friday in all 95 counties. It goes through July 30.

State figures include not only early voting, but absentee voters, as well. According to State Election Coordinator Mark Goins, that’s how they are reported at this point by counties to the state.
