Overview
Tennessee's 2026 ballot is led by an open race for governor: incumbent Bill Lee is term-limited, and the contest to succeed him has drawn sitting US Senator Marsha Blackburn into the Republican primary. Voters will also decide a US Senate race, where Bill Hagerty seeks a second term, and all nine US House seats under a congressional map redrawn in May 2026. Nominees are chosen in the August 6 open primary, with the general election on November 3. This hub connects live market odds with candidate pages, polling context, official dates and market-moving updates across Tennessee's 2026 races.

2026 Tennessee Elections FAQ
When is the 2026 Tennessee primary election?
The 2026 Tennessee primary election is on Aug 6, 2026.
When is the 2026 Tennessee general election?
The 2026 Tennessee general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Tennessee in 2026?
Tennessee's November 3, 2026 ballot carries the open governor's race, the US Senate seat held by Bill Hagerty, all nine US House districts, odd-numbered state Senate districts and all 99 state House seats, plus some municipal contests. The August 6 election also decides county offices, vacant judicial posts and party state executive committees, alongside the state and federal primaries.
How does Tennessee's primary work?
Tennessee does not register voters by party. In the August 6, 2026 primary, voters choose either the Republican or Democratic ballot at the polls; state law expects them to be bona fide party members or to declare allegiance when voting. Nominations are decided by plurality, so there is no runoff. Early voting runs July 17 through August 1, 2026.
Why is the 2026 Tennessee Governor race important?
Tennessee elects a new governor in 2026 because incumbent Bill Lee cannot seek a third consecutive term. The open seat has reshaped state politics: sitting US Senator Marsha Blackburn is running, US Representative John Rose is contesting the Republican primary, and the winner will lead a state where Democrats last won a statewide race in 2006. Nominees emerge from the August 6 primary.
