Putnam County Politics, Explained
The basics of who represents you, and how to make your vote count, in Cookeville and Putnam County.
How is Putnam County government organized?
The Putnam County Commission has 24 commissioners elected from 12 districts, two commissioners per district. Commissioners serve four-year terms, and the whole commission was on the ballot in 2026.
Cookeville, Algood, Baxter and Monterey each elect their own city or town government as well.
How do school board districts work in Putnam County?
The Putnam County Board of Education has six members. Each school board district is made of two neighboring county commission districts:
School District 1: Commission Districts 1 and 6. School District 2: Districts 2 and 3. School District 3: Districts 11 and 12. School District 4: Districts 4 and 5. School District 5: Districts 7 and 8. School District 6: Districts 9 and 10.
Seats are staggered: Districts 2, 4 and 6 were elected in 2026, and Districts 1, 3 and 5 are next up in 2028.
Who represents Putnam County in Nashville and Washington?
Putnam County is split between two Tennessee House districts, 25 and 42, and sits entirely in state Senate District 15 and Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District. Use the lookup above to see which House district your address is in.
Where do I vote early in Putnam County?
Early voting in Putnam County is held at the Putnam County Election Commission, 705 County Services Drive in Cookeville. Early voting starts 20 days before an election and ends 5 days before Election Day. Dates and hours are set for each election, so confirm them on GoVoteTN.gov or call the Election Commission at (931) 526-2566.
How do I register to vote in Tennessee?
Register or update your address online at ovr.govote.tn.gov with a Tennessee driver’s license or state ID, or turn in a paper form at the Putnam County Election Commission. You must register at least 30 days before an election.
Where does the district lookup get its data?
Straight from the State of Tennessee’s TNMap service: the Comptroller’s precinct and county commission maps, the 2022 legislative and congressional maps, and the Secretary of State’s polling place list. The lookup runs in your browser, so PCYD never sees your address. Always confirm your polling place on GoVoteTN before Election Day.
