The Cocke County Election Commission encourages
the public to register to vote now if they are not a Cocke County registered
voter or if they have moved and need to update their address with the Cocke
County Election Commission.
Voter registration in Tennessee is by county and if
you have moved into Cocke County you are required to complete a new voter
registration application before the registration deadline.
Joyce Slagle, Administrator of Elections encourages
the public to pick up a voter registration application now at any one of the
following locations:
Public Libraries, Post Offices, County Clerk Office,
County Election Office, City Halls, Department of Safety and Register of Deeds.
An application can be printed off the state website at
the following address http://state.tn.us/sos/election/ss-3010.pdf. Please
complete the printed application in black or blue ink. The last day to register
to vote is Tuesday, July 8, 2008.
If you are a Cocke County voter who needs to change
your address or name, please complete the voter registration application and
your information will be updated. Citizens are not registered voters in Cocke
County until they receive a voter registration card. Individuals with questions
are encouraged to contact Joyce or Dawn (423) 623-2042.
Also, the Cocke County Election Commission will
conduct a voting machine demonstration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June
28, at Food City.
Representatives from the Election Commission will be
on hand to demonstrate the MicroVote Infinity machines and voters will be
allowed to cast votes in a mock election to become familiar with the process.
