The 2026 Elections Are Upon Us!

With so many different offices up for grabs this year, we've compiled a list of all public offices within Knox County that are up for election this year! As our organization expands and grows, we will begin adding additional counties/districts to this list! Once the registration deadline is here and all candidates are confirmed to be on the ballot,  we will add their names and links to their websites/social media accounts here! 

(To ensure we get as many links as possible, due to text limitations we will include campaign websites, Facebook, Instagram and X links only. Absent links indicates we were unable to find sources for the candidate. In some cases, we have been forced to reduce the number of links further due to URL lengths; we apologize for any inconvenience, most candidate websites contain links to their various social media accounts)
