Where and when to vote

“If you’re unsure of where your polling location is, if you will look at your new, green Voter Registration Card that you received within the last three or four months, that will tell you,” said Elections Administrator Elizabeth Black. “A lot of the precincts did change, so please look at that before going to vote.”
You will be asked whether you want a Republican or Democratic ballot. You will have to show your driver’s license or other state or federal photo ID.
The results will be announced on Clarksville Now Tuesday night after the polls close, along with candidate reactions and photos. You can also hear live results on radio stations Beaver 100.3, Q108, Z97.5, Rewind 94.3 or NewZee 105.5.
