Tennessee voter turnout fell substantially from 2018 to 2022.
Voter turnout in Tennessee fell substantially for the 2022 midterms, according to the as-yet-unofficial figures from the state.
The Secretary of State reports 1.76 million Tennesseans cast ballots.
Compared to the 2018 midterm — which included a pair of competitive statewide contests — that was down by about half-a-million voters. The 2022 vote tally does rank above the 2014 contest.
In terms of the share of voters who made it out, Tennessee saw a turnout of about 38.6% of registered voters. That’s slightly higher than the 2014 midterm.
County election commissions have 45 days to provide official voter turnout numbers.
