Election officials are advising Tennessee residents that the last day to register to vote for the Aug. 4 election is July 5. Officials say people have an extra day to register this year because the last day to register actually falls on a national holiday, July 4. Officials say voters can register at election commission offices or online. Officials say anyone who registers online must vote the first time in person and is not eligible to receive an absentee ballot.
Several local and state races are on the ballot.
