Here is everything you need to know about voting in Thursday’s Memphis City Council runoff race:

• The polls are open Thursday, Nov. 16, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the three council districts — Districts 2, 3 and 7.

Three city council runoff races close out Memphis election year

• You only vote at your Election Day polling place if you live within one of the districts and didn’t already vote early. You will only be voting in one of the three races on the sample ballot.

Here is how to see which council district you live in and if you live in one of the three council districts on this ballot:

• This is the election commission’s district locator.
• Put in your address. The locator will show you a map with your address pinpointed.
• Click on the black dot to bring up a rectangular box.
• Click on the arrow at the top of that box pointing to the right, and that will bring up another box showing your districts.
• Keep the box up. At the top, it also shows you the precinct you live in and your Election Day voting location in that precinct.

It’s wise to check because the election commission has redrawn precinct boundaries since the last city election in 2019 and also has changed some Election Day polling sites.

If you voted in last year’s county, state and federal elections, or in the most recent October Memphis elections, you already know about the changes.

If you have voted early in past elections and decide to vote on Election Day this time, remember that you can’t vote at any location. You have to vote in your precinct.

Here is the election commission’s reminder about identification needed to vote in any election in Tennessee.

Election certification total adds 31 provisional ballots

When you sign in to vote and polling officials look you up in the electronic poll book — the first step in voting — you will choose whether to vote on a machine or by hand-marking a paper ballot.

The touch-screen machine gives you a paper readout of your selections. After checking your selection on that readout, you will then feed the piece of paper into a digital scanner while the paper copy goes into a locked ballot box.

If you hand-mark a paper ballot, you feed it into the same digital scanner, and it goes into the same locked ballot box.

If you somehow leave the polling place without running your paper readout or ballot through the scanner, you cannot reenter the polling place, and your vote will not be counted. So don’t forget to put the paper in the scanner before you leave.

The Daily Memphian will have complete election returns after the polls close at 7 p.m.
