2026 Congressional District Updates
The Tennessee General Assembly has officially adopted revised congressional districts. These new boundary lines will be in effect for the upcoming 2026 election cycle. We encourage citizens to review the updated statewide redistricting information.
Local Impact: Hamilton County continues to remain wholly within U.S. House District 3. While there were changes to the district lines that affect other counties in Tennessee, Hamilton County's congressional representation remains unchanged.
