Today (Monday, April 2) is the registration deadline in person if you want to vote in the DeKalb County Democratic Primary on Tuesday, May 1.
“Two important things to keep in mind at this point are the registration deadline and the updating of addresses,” said Dennis Stanley, Administrator of Elections.
“If you are not registered but want to participate in the May 1 primary election, April 2 is the last day you can register in person at the election office,” he said.
Voter registration forms are available at the election office on the first floor of the DeKalb County Courthouse; on line at www.dekalbelections.com (and clicking on the voter registration tab at the top left of the page) and https://sos.tn.gov/elections/voter-information.
As far as address changes go, Stanley said keeping your address up to date could prevent a delay in voting on Election Day or even during early voting.
“If you have moved since you last voted, you may have to vote at a different location on May 1,” he said. “Keep in mind, if you have moved and did not notify our office, you will have paperwork to fill out on Election Day and you may have to go to a different place to vote.”
Voters who want to check their status can call the election office at 615-597-4146 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Meanwhile, the qualifying deadline for the school board, municipal elections, and state primaries is Noon, April 5.
