Greetings, Chattanooga!
It’s Election Day, and in case you weren’t aware, Hamilton County and other counties in Tennessee have special procedures in place to allow voters with COVID-19 issues to vote safely. During Tennessee’s 14 days of early voting, which ended Thursday, the election office had only one person call to inquire about what the process would be. In this story, Hamilton County Election Administrator Scott Allen explains the process for us.
Let’s get into a few recent stories:
