Opinion: Tennessee voters should avoid disinformation and rely on trusted information

Trusted information. These two words sound simple, but they have become more significant in recent months. Our society has seen an uptick in global disinformation – including AI manipulation and deepfakes, not to mention an overwhelming increase in unsourced information regularly shared across social media.

Although sometimes inadvertent, sharing disinformation makes it imperative for registered Tennessee voters to obtain trusted information from our office as they prepare to cast a ballot. Whether it’s opening and closing hours, location of polling places, photo ID requirements, or general election-related questions, Tennesseans can find trusted election information by visiting our website, GoVoteTN.gov , or by downloading the free GoVoteTN App.

Through these resources, eligible citizens can view candidate lists, and find polling locations with hours of opening and closing times, important dates, and even historical data from previous election years.
