1. Today is Election Day
The 2022 midterm elections end today, and it is not too late to cast your vote, Knoxville!
Polls are open today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voting on Election Day looks a little different from early voting, and it is important to note the difference. Today, you must go to your precinct in order to vote.
It is also important to make sure that you are registered to vote, that you bring a Tennessee-issued photo ID with you to the polling location, and that you know what you will be voting for on the ballot.
Check out the
Knox County Election Commission website to verify your polling location, to view a sample ballot, to verify that you are registered to vote, and to learn other important information about voting in Knoxville!
Your voice is your vote! |

East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer organization funded by tax-deductible donations from businesses, clubs, associations, and individuals. The program enables residents to report individuals who are known or suspected
of committing criminal acts in our community. And this reporting can be done absolutely anonymously.
When you call in a tip that leads to an arrest or recovery of stolen property, you can become eligible for a cash reward.
Crime Stoppers reports crimes and suspects on its website and social media channels. Crime Stoppers cases are featured in the news, on television, on the radio and via the P3 TIPS app.
If you have information about a crime, call the anonymous tip line at 865-215-7165.
The East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers Program began accepting tips on May 5, 2021. The partnership was the fruition of efforts of the Knoxville City Council, Mayor Kincannon's office, along with Chief Eve Thomas and the Knoxville Police Department.
