the voter is physically disabled in such a manner that renders the voter unable to vote at the voter’s normal polling
location. The voter must notify the Rutherford County Election Commission at least ten (10) days before the election in
writing that in their judgment, their polling location does not comply with the provisions of public law 98-435 and Tennessee

Election Day requests for emergency voting must be received before 7:00 a.m. Additionally, eligible voters who experience
a death of a relative which would result in the absence from the state or county on election day and can demonstrate
reasonable proof to the Administrator of Elections, or deputy, shall be eligible to vote absentee by personal appearance
at the election commission office, not more than five (5) days, nor later than the day prior to the election. The same
eligibility would apply if a voter receives a subpoena or service of process requiring a voter’s presence on Election Day.
