Municipal elections in the town center on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Voters elect a mayor and four aldermen to four-year staggered terms. These contests occur in odd-numbered years, most recently in November 2023, with the next scheduled for November 2027. Information on candidate filings and local ballot measures appears on both the Knox County Election Commission site and the Town of Farragut website at https://www.townoffarragut.org. Residents also participate in county elections for mayor, commission, school board, sheriff, county clerk, and other offices, plus state legislative races for Tennessee House and Senate districts covering the area, and federal contests for U.S. House, Senate, and President. Polling place assignments can be found through the GoVoteTN website at https://web.go-vote-tn.elections.tn.gov by entering name and birth date or address. The site displays sample ballots and early voting locations.

Publicly accessible election records in Tennessee include voter registration lists (available to candidates and political organizations under restrictions), campaign finance reports (through the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance at https://www.tn.gov/tref), candidate petitions and qualifying documents, and precinct-level results posted by the commission after certification. On November 3, 2026, voters will see the Tennessee gubernatorial race (as governors serve four-year terms), all State House seats (two-year terms), half the State Senate seats (four-year staggered terms), Knox County Commission seats in that cycle, and potentially school board positions.

The U.S. House representative for Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District, which includes the town, will also appear on the ballot.
