The Issue

Many citizens in the Humboldt, TN community face significant challenges traveling to the current early voting locations in Rutherford or Trenton. These hurdles are especially pronounced for our elderly population or those without reliable transportation, as both of these venues are nearly 30 minutes away. In past election cycles, Humboldt has always provided an early voting location, ensuring our community members are not disenfranchised due to logistical barriers and have the opportunity to participate fully in local, state, and federal elections.

Historically, having an early voting site within Humboldt has empowered our citizens, facilitating greater voter turnout and allowing us to express our democratic rights with ease. However, without a local site for the 2025 election cycle, we risk alienating a critical segment of our population whose voices deserve to be heard just as much as anyone else.

The right to vote is fundamental, yet logistical challenges should never stand in the way of a citizen exercising this right. By reinstating an early voting location in Humboldt for the 2025 elections, we can uphold the democratic process and encourage greater participation in our electoral system.

Join us in urging the city officials of Humboldt and the election board to reinstate an early voting location for the upcoming 2025 voting cycle. By signing this petition, you support accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that every voter in Humboldt can easily cast their ballot. Please sign and let your voice be heard to bring back an early voting location in our city.
