The Hamblen County Election Commission administrates all elections for Hamblen County and the City of Morristown.
The Hamblen County Election Commission serves the voting public and candidates in all things pertaining to an election: Federal, State, County and Municipal. Our main responsibility is registering, filing and maintaining all voter registration records for Hamblen County.
In addition, our responsibilities include polling place arrangement, appointment and training of election officials, preparation of ballots and election supplies, storage and maintenance of voting machines and certification of election results.
The Election Commissioners are appointed by the State Election Commission upon recommendation of the local representatives (State Senator and Representative), and the local parties. The Election Commissioners, in turn, appoint the local Administrator of Elections.
It is the mission of the Hamblen County Election Commission to ensure the integrity of every vote cast in Hamblen County by administering election law and procedures equally and fairly to all, by providing the most efficient, accurate and secure election process possible, and, in all our endeavors, exceeding the expectations of the voters, taxpayers and citizens of Hamblen County in accountability and competence.
