Knox County and East Tennessee candidates on August 4 ballot
This list has been made freely available to all readers as a public service. Consider registering at knoxnews.com/subscribe.
Think of the August 4 election as a double-header.
Voters will elect the candidates they wish to serve in Knox County in the county’s general election, and they will also narrow down the candidates they want from their political party to run for the state legislature, gubernatorial races and fall Congress.
Plus, for some, there will also be the Farragut Town Races.
It is better to study the races in advance, and we have a list.
Early voting is open until July 30, and election day is August 4.
‘Do your homework’:Early voting is here and there’s a ton on the ballot. Here’s how and when to vote
