卡米尔·贝克、罗伯特·尹 华盛顿 —— 田纳西州选民正在选举联邦和州级领导人及其他公职人员。以下是关于此次选举的一些关键事实，以及美联社决策团队将在周二计票过程中监测的数据点。
CAMILLE BAKER, ROBERT YOON WASHINGTON — Tennessee voters are electing federal and state leaders and other officeholders. Here are some key facts about the election and data points the AP Decision Team will monitor as the votes are tallied on Tuesday.
尽管田纳西州横跨两个时区，但东部和中部时区的所有投票站都统一在美东时间晚上8点关闭。
Although Tennessee is in two time zones, all polls in both the Eastern and Central time zones are coordinated to close at 8 p.m. ET.
美联社将提供美国参议员、州长、联邦众议员、全州范围投票议题、州参议员和州众议员竞选的投票结果并宣布获胜者。2022年田纳西州州长选举共投出约170万张选票。
The Associated Press will provide vote results and declare winners in races for U.S. Senate, governor, U.S. House, statewide ballot measures, state Senate and state House. About 1.7 million votes were cast in the 2022 race for governor in Tennessee.
2022年田纳西州州长选举中，约51%的所有选票为提前投票或缺席投票。田纳西州最新的提前投票总数可在美联社的提前投票追踪器中找到。
About 51% of all ballots cast in Tennessee’s 2022 election for governor were cast early or by absentee ballot. The latest advance vote totals for Tennessee can be found in the AP’s advance vote tracker .
几乎每个田纳西州县预计都将在当晚首次报告中发布所有或几乎所有邮寄和提前现场投票的结果，随后再发布选举日当天现场投票的结果。
Almost every Tennessee county is expected to release all or almost all results from mail and early in-person voting in the first report of the night, before releasing in-person Election Day results.
2024年大选的首批结果于美东时间晚上8点02分开始报出，即投票站关闭两分钟后。该州于晚上8点58分达到50%计票进度，于晚上10点14分达到90%计票进度。
The first results of the 2024 general election were reported starting at 8:02 p.m. ET, two minutes after polls closed. The state reached 50% of votes reporting at 8:58 p.m., and 90% of votes reporting at 10:14 p.m.
在田纳西州，重新计票仅作为法庭法律挑战的一部分进行。没有自动重新计票，落选候选人也不能请求重新计票。如果美联社认定领先优势大到足以使重新计票或法律挑战无法改变结果，美联社可能会在面临重新计票的竞选中宣布获胜者。
In Tennessee, recounts are held only as part of a legal challenge in the courts. There are no automatic recounts, and losing candidates may not request recounts. The AP may declare a winner in a race that is subject to a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
