Source: the Tennessee Secretary of State's Division of Elections, which posts each county's early and absentee voters for every early-voting day the next morning, and its same reports for the 2022, 2018 and 2024 general elections. The counts combine early in-person voters, absentee ballots by mail and voters at licensed care facilities; the 2026 files don't split them. Tennessee has no party registration, so there is no party split, and none is estimated.
Where 2026 stands
Early and absentee voters by early-voting day
Early voting in Tennessee runs from Wednesday 20 days before the election to Thursday 5 days before, Monday through Saturday: 14 voting days, Oct 14 to Oct 29 in 2026. It ran over the same 14 weekdays in 2022, 2018 and 2024, since all four elections fall on a Tuesday, so day n is the same weekday and the same number of days before Election Day each time. 2022 and 2018 are the last two midterms; 2024 was a presidential year.

Voters per 100,000 registered
Early and absentee voters so far divided by registered voters in the same county, per 100,000 of them, so counties of very different size can be compared. Each 2026 dot sits beside the same county's 2022, 2018 and 2024 figures at the same early-voting day, each divided by that year's June 1 registration.
