Shelby County: early and absentee votes cast on each voting day of the 2022 and 2018 governor’s races, and of 2026 so far. Day 1 is a Wednesday in all three years.

How busy a day was is its share of the place’s whole early vote, averaged over 2022 and 2018. Past crowds, not a forecast: lines also depend on how many sites your county opens and their hours, which the state’s GoVoteTN lookup shows.
