Tennessee ranks 44th in the nation for Voter turnout. When you see numbers like that, you may think it's because people just don't care. Organize Tennessee says it's partly because we're nearly LAST in the nation for ease of voting. Organize Tennessee works to prevent and respond to issues that prevent Tennesseans from voting. The group also works to keep abreast of and inform voters about precinct changes that could affect them adversely, and help them learn about the voting process.
