Early voting has begun in the special election to fill Tennessee's 7th District seat to replace retired U.S. Rep. Mark Green. Who's on the ballot?

Early voting begins Wednesday in the primary races for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. Why it matters: The special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Mark Green serves as an early temperature check heading into next year's midterm elections.

In 2024, Tennessee's voter turnout was higher than in 2016 and 2012, but lower than 2020. Tennessee continues to lag behind other states when it comes to voter turnout; part of the reason why might be due to the state's policies.

Only a few hundred voters in Nashville voted in the first day of early voting in the special primary Election to replace Rep. Mark Green. In Dickson County, by mid-afternoon, only 83 people voted.

Early voting starts next week in the special election for the seventh congressional district. Inside Politics is interviewing the republican and democratic candidates.

State records from the Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett show that roughly 80,000 Davidson County voters were removed from the voter lists between December 1st and June 1st.
