The November 3, 2026 election will include Tennessee's gubernatorial race (as Tennessee governors serve four-year terms and the position was last elected in 2022, the next election is 2026), all five U.S. House seats from Tennessee's congressional districts (Lawrenceburg is in the 4th Congressional District), Tennessee State Senate and State House of Representatives seats depending on district election cycles, and Lawrence County offices including County Mayor, County Commission seats, County Clerk, County Trustee, Register of Deeds, Sheriff, Circuit Court Clerk, and other countywide positions.

Tennessee allows absentee voting by mail for voters who meet specific criteria: those 60 years or older, voters with disabilities, full-time students, those hospitalized or caring for hospitalized family members, election workers, candidates on the ballot, and those whose work hours prevent voting during early voting and Election Day. Applications for absentee ballots must be submitted to the Lawrence County Election Commission, and the completed ballot must be returned by the close of polls on Election Day. The state also offers early voting for all registered voters during a 14-day period, excluding Sundays, before each election at designated locations announced by the Election Commission.
