Davidson Co. Election Commission
Davidson Co. Election Commission - Where do I vote? NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro voters go the polls Thursday to pick a mayor, Metro Council and to decide the fate of the Nashville fairgrounds.
Mayor Karl Dean faces three lesser known opponents, and is expected to easily win a second term.
The fairgrounds issue is more controversial.
People will vote on an amendment that would make it difficult for Metro government to demolish it. For some the vote goes beyond saving fairgrounds activities.
"Even if you're not interested in the fairgrounds, you should be more interested in having the more representative branch of government influencing 117 acres of publicly owned process, property, and that is the Metro Council," Metro Councilman Jaime Hollin said.
Voters must bring their voter registration card or a valid ID with a signature such as a driver's license.
The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Davidson County has more than 285,000 active registered voters.
