📚 The Southern Festival of Books Is This Weekend
Looking for a free weekend activity? The Southern Festival of Books, one of the oldest literary festivals in the U.S., has author talks, a children’s area, and tons of food trucks. Here are our insider tips for this year’s festival! [🎧 City Cast Nashville]
🗳️ Incarcerated Nashvillians Have Opportunity To Vote
To increase voter access in Davidson County jails, Sheriff Daron Hall hired election staffer Carlatina Hampton, who has helped incarcerated folk sign up for absentee ballots. On Oct. 29, two representatives will visit the jails to collect these absentee ballots and mail them in. [Nashville Banner]
👆 Touchscreen Issues on Voting Machines
Voters who use their fingers on voting machines have been experiencing technical issues with the touchscreen jumping to other candidates. Election officials recommend voting with plastic stir sticks or tapping the candidate’s name instead of the small box. [WKRN]

❤️🩹 HIV Awareness Funding Challenges
In 2023, Gov. Bill Lee rejected federal funding for HIV prevention programming, choosing to have the state fund these programs instead. Since then, HIV prevention agency Nashville CARES has observed staffing issues — due to the state’s one-year funding contracts — and a decrease in community awareness. [WPLN]
