FAQs

Where do I vote?

Look at your voter registration card.

Each voter is mailed a voter registration card when they register to vote containing their voting precinct and corresponding district numbers listed on the back of the card. If you do not have a current voter registration card, then we encourage you to call our office to request a new one. You can also access your current registration status and precinct information by clicking here.

Look at the Election District Maps

You can find your district’s voting precincts using these maps. The area highlighted in yellow on each map shows you where you can vote in the following elections: U.S. House District, State House District, State Senate District, County Commission District, Road Commission District, School Board District, and the Constable District. The address of your precinct, and any corresponding city within your precinct will be identified.

Campbell County Election Districts – District Chart 

Some of the maps indicate multiple districts within the categories of US House and State House Districts because the precinct is split. The correct district will be listed on your card. Since the implementation of the Photo ID law in Tennessee in 2012, you no longer have to have a voter registration card with you in order to vote, but it is an important piece of information for the correct identification of your voting information as well as containing your voter registration number.

The red outline on each of the district maps represents the County Commission District which make up multiple School Board and Road Commission Districts.

What about Non-Resident Property Rights voting?

Pursuant to T.C.A. § 2-2-107(3): Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary, if a municipal charter provides for property rights voting, no more than 2 persons shall be entitled to vote based upon the ownership of an individual tract of property regardless of the number of property owners.

What this code is referring to is that in Tennessee, if you own property within the city limits of a city that allows for non-resident property rights voting in its charter, but you do not actually live within that city limit, you still have the right to participate in that city’s municipal election, provided you properly register that specific property with the Election Commission.

So, for example, you could live in the city of Jacksboro and own a piece of property within the city limits of La Follette and be able to vote in both city elections, provided you have properly registered your LaFollette property with the Campbell County Election Commission Office. You must register that specific piece of city property with the Election Commission Office in order to have the ability to vote on its behalf. IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY DONE JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN THE PROPERTY! IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGISTER IT!

In Campbell County are municipalities are Caryville, Jacksboro, LaFollette, and Jellico. All these municipalities have provisions within their charters to allow for non-resident property rights voting.

To register for non-resident property rights voting on a specific piece of property, you must complete a registration form for that property (separate from your regular registration) and provide the Campbell County Election Commission Office with a certified copy of your recorded deed for your city property.

You may register in person at the Election Commission Office located at 129 Church Valley, Jacksboro, TN, 37757-0084.

Our office hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

You can also register by mail by sending your registration application, properly filled out, and a copy of your recorded warranty deed to

Campbell County Election Commission Office
P.O. Box 84
Jacksboro, TN 37757-0084.
