ELECTIONS 2026
Tennessee voters will choose their next governor, a senator, U.S. House representatives, and state lawmakers this November. Term limits on Gov. Bill Lee, along with shake-ups after Republicans redrew the state’s congressional map, have left several key races open for newcomers.
Voters will also decide on constitutional amendments to give judges more leeway to deny bail, prohibit a state property tax, and expand crime victims’ rights.
