Early voting began Wednesday for Tennessee’s Nov. 8 general election. The 14-day early voting period runs Mondays through Saturdays until Nov. 3.

The ballot features incumbent Republican Gov. Bill Lee and his Democratic challenger, Jason Martin. Voters will also consider four proposed amendments to the Tennessee Constitution. In addition, Tennessee’s nine U.S. House seats are on the ballot, as well as all 99 state House seats and odd-numbered state Senate seats.

Tennessee’s deadline to request an absentee ballot to vote by mail is Nov. 1. Those ballots must be returned by mail in time for the county election commission to receive it no later than the close of polls on Election Day.

Secretary of State Tre Hargett said during early voting and on Election Day, voters need to bring valid photo identification to the polls. Acceptable ID includes a driver’s license or photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Tennessee state government or the federal government, which are acceptable even if expired. A student ID or out-of-state driver’s license is not acceptable.
