NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Monday is the last day to register to vote in Tennessee.

Even though it's Columbus Day, state elections officials say elections offices will be open in all but 2 of the state's 95 counties.

They will be closed in Lewis and Hickman counties, but residents there can bring their forms to a neighboring county to be registered.

Early voting begins on Oct. 17. Election Day is Nov. 2.

Voters will need government-issued photo identification to cast ballots under a new state law.
