Who runs Pickett County
We don’t have Pickett’s local results yet.
This page already has Pickett’s registered voters, turnout, and the district races on the ballot — you can see those above. The piece missing is who actually won the county commission, school board, and the other local seats. Nobody has confirmed that for Pickett yet.

The Democratic vote in Pickett County
153 people voted Democratic here. Almost none of them are connected to each other.
They are on your street, at your kids' school, in line at your grocery store. None of it adds up to anything yet. That is a solvable problem, and it starts with one person deciding to be findable.

Counties your size, ranked by turnout3
The counties closest to Pickett in registered voters. Shading is Democratic vote share; Pickett is outlined in gold.
Hancock County is about your size and turned out 43.4%. Catching them takes 424 more ballots from Pickett County — spread across enough neighborhoods, that is 12 more voters per adopted block, or a few conversations each. One of those blocks could be yours.
The gap is closer than it looks
2,821 registered neighbors here didn't vote last time. Half an hour a week from somebody they already know moves more of them than a mailer ever will.
People listen to people they know
Nobody changes their plans because of a mailer from a stranger. On your own street, you are the most convincing person there is.
You get a group out of it
The people doing this in Pickett County are worth knowing — they walk dogs, run early, swim, garden, trade tomatoes, watch each other's kids. You end up with a group that shows up for each other. Better representation is what falls out of that.

Your first step
Start with Pickett County — pick one action that fits your week: your street, or the people you’d actually ask. Sending the local ballot before each election is what the funding unlocks next.
Start with my countyTakes about a minute. No dues, and nobody has claimed this page yet — this is you and your neighbors, not a committee roster.
Your next step in Pickett County is a block — pick a street you know and remind it to vote. The people you'd actually ask count just as much: friends, coworkers, family. Two neighbors can share a street, and you can step back anytime.

Remind your street to vote
Adopt a block and you can see the others reminding their streets to vote in Pickett County, and they can see you. Sharing your social accounts with them is optional and off by default.

For comparison: 1,414 people voted in the last primary here — 33.4% of everyone registered, and 10.8% of them voted Democratic.
What that actually changes
These are the seats close enough for a few thousand votes to decide:
- Your state house and state senate seats — the people who vote on school funding, road money, and whether your hospital stays open.
- County commission — the local budget, what gets built, who gets hired.
- The offices that run elections here, including how easy it is to vote.
If counties like yours did the same thing, that adds up to roughly 688 votes across the state — enough to matter in the legislature. If it spread further, closer to 1,867.
If it feels like you are outnumbered here, you are not wrong — and you are also not alone. Places like this move slowly and then all at once.
Start with your county — see who’s funding this race, and go deeper from there. Adopt a block when you feel like it.The ballot before every election is what the funding unlocks next — adopt a block when you feel like it.
Why it does not stop at your county line
Nobody does this alone. The same half hour a week, in enough places, is what changes who runs the state.

What a week of this looks like
Half an hour, broken up however it fits around work and kids:
- Say hello to 2 neighbors. Coffee, the dog walk, the driveway — whatever you already do.
- Mention to 1 of them that you vote, and why you care about something local.
- Ask 1 person to come along to something — a meeting, a cookout, a cleanup.
Do that most weeks and you are reminding your street to vote. There is no other test.

- Not tax-deductible. Your contribution is not a charitable donation and is not tax-deductible.
- Not political money. Nothing you give here goes to any candidate, campaign, or party. It pays for the infrastructure line items published on the costs page.
- Counted in public. Every payment is added to its state’s public running total the moment it clears — itemized on the public ledger — and a receipt goes to your email.

Who is buying ads that reach Pickett
22 groups have bought air time on stations heard here
9 of 22 say who runs them.
13 groups do not.
Wider than the county: in TN-06 it is 17 of 38. A district covers every county it touches, so those numbers reach past Pickett — and they are counts, never totals to add together.
These are groups on stations whose signal reaches Pickett — not money spent here. One station covers many counties, so the same buy reaches many places at once. That is why there is no dollar figure on this panel: a per-county total would count the same money over and over.

How Pickett publishes its results
We haven't confirmed yet
Published as PDF reports from the county's tabulation software.
We have found the reports but have not yet confirmed we can read this county's copies.
This describes what our software could read on 2026-08-13 — not how well the county is doing its job. Publishing a scan or a paper-style report is lawful; we have found no Tennessee law requiring any particular format. Across the 95 counties: 20 collected automatically, 1 readable but not yet collected, 22 not machine-readable, and 52 we have not confirmed either way.

Who chooses the people who run this office? Not your county.
Most people assume county elections are run by people the county picked. In Tennessee they are not, and the arrangement is written into the law rather than hidden in it.
- The Administrator of Elections above runs the office day to day and executes every election. The five-member county election commission hires them.
- Those five are not elected locally. They are appointed by the State Election Commission, on the first Monday in April of odd-numbered years.
- The State Election Commission has seven members and is the only commission in Tennessee state government elected entirely by the General Assembly.
- The statute allocates the seats by party: the party holding the most seats in the General Assembly gets four of the seven state commissioners, and three of the five commissioners in every one of the 95 counties. The other party gets the rest.
So the two things a resident can actually move are further away than they look, and they are different levers:
- The money is local. Your county commission appropriates this office’s budget each year, and can raise the administrator’s salary above the state minimum. When an office is simply under-resourced, that is the ballot line that changes it.
- The appointments are not. They run through the legislators you send to Nashville, because the General Assembly elects the commission that appoints your county’s.
Every statement here is from Tennessee Code § 2-12-201 and § 2-12-103, the Secretary of State’s description of the State Election Commission, and the UT County Technical Assistance Service on county appropriations. It describes how the law allocates these offices. It is not a claim about anyone’s conduct.

- County and municipal offices and ballot measures: the county’s OWN election commission, which is the only place they are published — the state dashboard carries no county offices at all. Every county publishes in whatever format it chose, so these are read one format at a time: a county’s results feed where it has one, the report its vote-counting equipment prints where it does not, and a neighbor who types the numbers in and links the page they came from where no computer can read it. Where a county has not been ingested yet, this page says so plainly and points to how to help, rather than showing nothing or implying it held no county elections.
- When these numbers were counted: each county’s report carries its own printed date and time, and that is the one shown here — not when we fetched it. Counties keep counting after election night as provisional ballots are decided and mailed ballots are cured, and they republish at the same address when they do. So a figure can go up days later, and results stay unofficial until the county election commission certifies them.
