It is important to celebrate that VOTE411 did what it was designed to do this cycle - educating voters. We had information on more candidates in more languages that were viewed by more voters than any election cycle, and that's something to be extremely proud of! More specifically, between January 1- November 5th, just shy of 9.2 million voters turned to VOTE411 for their election information.

This is the LWV of TN statement on the new law that required Election Officials to place a sign at each polling place warning voters about voting in the August 1st. Primary. The LWV of TN is currently in litigation over this requirement.

ACLU-Tennessee has published a press release detailing a demand letter that has been sent to Tennessee Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins and Secretary of State Tre Hargett.

The updated complaint includes voters who were deterred from voting in the primary and targeted for prosecution under the new law.
