MEMPHIS, Tenn — While the August 6th primary election day was a success for the Shelby County Election Commission, ballots arriving late in the mail shed light on potential issues for the November election.

Nearly 17,000 Shelby County residents voted by an absentee ballot for the primary. A record-high number. In November, the election commission is anticipating the number of requests for absentees to be as high as 100,000.
