Local elections shape your daily life, from schools and roads to public safety and taxes. Taking time to research candidates helps you make choices that align with your values and your community's needs.
Choose your city to see only the races on your ballot. Gallatin, Hendersonville, and White House also have ward or district races.
Candidates are listed in the same order as the official sample ballot. All city candidates appear on the ballot as independents, so no party is shown.
The Sumner County Election Commission's official November 3 sample ballot lists every race in the county, including all eight city elections.
