Tuesday, May 7th is the City of Brentwood Municipal election. Early voting begins April 17 and is open to any registered voter who is entitled to vote in the municipal election. Any registered voter may vote at any one of the three (3) early voting sites within the county regardless of their Election Day precinct of registration. All voters must present a Tennessee or Federal issued identification, even if expired, showing the voters’ name and photo unless excluded under certain provisions of the law. (T.C.A. §2-7-112 (a)). First time voters who registered by mail or online must show proof of residential address before casting a ballot.
There are four City Commission seats up for election, with nine candidates on the ballot. Outgoing Commissioner Betsy Crossley understands the importance of every vote, firsthand. She initially tied for fourth place in the 2007 election and subsequently won the final seat in a runoff election. Thanks to her recently turned 18-year-old son and his friend being able to vote, she was still a contender in the race. “So, the first time he was going to vote, he was voting for me,” Crossley said. “He got really busy that afternoon, but he did grab a friend to go vote. That evening, I will never forget the number– 1,740. There was a tie for fourth place. Had he not gotten his friend to vote, I would have lost by two votes,” Crossley said. She is a firm believer, that every vote does count.
You must apply for voter registration by April 8, 2019 to be eligible to vote in Brentwood’s May 7 election.
