Looking for a convenient way to register to vote or change your name and address?
DeKalb County Administrator of Elections Dennis Stanley said there are various ways to register and update your information from the comfort of your own home.
“A registration form, which can be used for a new voter or for change of address, can be found at www.dekalbelections.com,” Stanley said. “Another option is the GoVoteTn app and website https://www.govotetn.com/.
The Tennessee Online Voter Registration System offers a convenient way for voters to easily register or change their address if they have moved. The system allows U.S. citizens with a driver’s license or photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to register to vote online.
In order to register on-line at GoVoteTn you must have a Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security ID in order to submit the application online. If you do not have a Tennessee driver’s license or Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security ID, you will be able to print the voter registration form and submit it by mail to the local election office. The printable form on the local election office website (www.dekalbelections.com) must also be printed and mailed to P.O. Box 543, Smithville.
The registration deadline for the August election is July 7th.
“Our office encourages potential voters and those who need to change address to do so on-line,” Stanley said. “It’s convenient and the instructions are easy to follow.”
“But if you do not have computer access, our office is here to help you with the process,” he continued. “Just give us a call at 615-597-4146.”
