Here&#8217;s what you need to know before you go.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday<\/h2>\n<p>Early voting wrapped up Aug. 1, so Thursday, Aug. 6 is the last chance to cast a ballot in person. Vote at your assigned precinct \u2014 not necessarily the early voting sites you may have used.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Turnout is already unusually high<\/h2>\n<p>More than 6,875 people voted early \u2014 a number that had already topped the county&#8217;s entire May primary turnout before early voting even closed.<\/p>\n<h2>3. The local headline race: TN House District 81<\/h2>\n<p>The Republican primary pits Jason Fleming against Brett Giannini to replace Rep. Debra Moody. Read more about these two candidates on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperfoldsnews.com\/votetipton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vote Tipton Interactive Voters Guide<\/a> \u2013 take our blind candidate quiz to see who aligns best with your positions.<\/p>\n<p>This state primary will decide the Republican nominee not only for House District 81, but will also decide party nominees for governor and congressional seats in the newly-redrawn districts.<\/p>\n<p>Tipton County is divided into the 5th and 8th congressional districts, so this means voters will choose between Republicans Andy Ogles or Charlie Hatcher or Democrats Yolanda Cooper-Sutton, Tipton County&#8217;s Devante Hill, Rachel Hurley and Chaz Molder for the 5th. David Kustoff is running unopposed in District 9.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Other contested races on the ballot<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Circuit Court Clerk: <\/strong>Connie Fayne vs. Shane Waits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Register of Deeds: <\/strong>Trena C. Jones vs. Stephanie A. Presley<\/li>\n<li><strong>County Commission: <\/strong>races in District 2, 3, 7, and 9 have competition<\/li>\n<li><strong>Democratic State Executive Committeewoman (Dist. 32): <\/strong>Georgia Dawson of Tipton County vs. Regina Nash of Lauderdale County<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Countywide offices including county executive, county trustee, sheriff and county clerk are also on the ballot. Pull up a personalized sample ballot for your address through GoVoteTN.org.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Bring a photo ID<\/h2>\n<p>Tennessee requires a photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms include a Tennessee driver&#8217;s license, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military ID, a Tennessee handgun carry permit, or another federal or state government-issued photo ID \u2014 all valid even if expired. College student IDs and out-of-state or out-of-city photo IDs do not count.<\/p>\n<p>A few voters are exempt: those voting absentee by mail, nursing home or assisted living residents voting on-site, hospitalized voters, voters with a religious objection to being photographed, and voters who can&#8217;t afford to obtain an ID. Anyone without an acceptable ID can look into a free one through the Tennessee Department of Safety.<\/p>\n<h2>6.
