How it works

Metro elections are held every four years in August under the Metro Charter; the Davidson County Election Commission hasn't published the 2027 calendar yet.
A bill in the state legislature (HB 1497) would move Metro's elections to 2028 and lengthen terms. It passed the state House on April 21, 2026 and hasn't passed the Senate.
Candidates need 25 signatures of registered voters to qualify.
