More than 100 candidates are vying for more than 40 elected offices across Nashville on an Election Day that should bring clarity to the race to be the city’s next mayor.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. — and unlike the early voting period, residents must go to their assigned polling locations.
Those are listed on registration cards, and can be identified using the city’s Polling Place Finder tool.
The most-watched contest is the race for Nashville mayor, and because of the large number of candidates splitting vote totals, today’s balloting is likely to result in a runoff between the top two vote-getters.
Housing affordability, the future of transportation, and climate change are among the top concerns of local voters. WPLN News drew from residents’ questions to gather responses from the candidates, and you can find all of those at WPLN.org/election.
What else is on the ballot?
As important as the role of mayor is, there’s also:
- Vice mayor, which you can learn about via This Is Nashville
- Metro councilmembers, both by district and at-large
- TN House District 51 Special PrimaryElection, after Rep. Bill Beck’s death
- TN House District 52 Special General Election, which could officially reinstate Rep. Justin Jones to the statehouse following his expulsion and reappointment — and he’s up against Republican Laura Nelson
After polls close at 7 p.m., WPLN News will provide special Election Night updates both on air and online.
