Pikeville’s city election on Saturday will be a two-man showdown for mayor and a nine-way battle for four open alderman seats. It’s also the first election in Bledsoe County to allow nonresident property rights voters to cast ballots.

Saturday’s fair and sunny forecast might improve voter turnout, but early voting numbers were down from the last city election, according to Bledsoe County Administrator of Elections Lisa Wheeler.

Election day

Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST on the ground floor of the Bledsoe County Courthouse on Main Street in Pikeville, Tenn.

“We had 156 that voted early this time, including paper ballots,” Wheeler said. “We voted 200 last time.”

Wheeler said the U.S. presidential race and terrorist attacks in France might be distracting voters.
