1 in 100 of the people who sat out is 244 people.
That alone would have taken turnout here from 24.0% to 24.8%. The sliders below are for trying your own number.
Picture it
If Gibson County were 100 registered voters
Each square is one percent of the people registered here. Filled squares voted in the last primary.
The biggest group here is the empty one. That is the opportunity — not changing anyone's mind, just reaching people who already agree and stayed home.
What was on the ballot here
Every seat Gibson County voted on
These are the actual races people in this county saw. The bar shows how much of the primary vote went Democratic.
A dash means only one party filed, so there was nothing to compare.
What you can do about it
Three things, none of which require experience
Make sure one street votes
Pick the block you already live on. Before each election, remind the people on it — by text, in person, however you already talk to them. That is the whole job.
Bring one person with you
Voting alone is a chore. Voting with a friend is a plan. One person who would not otherwise have gone is a real, countable result.

No committee has claimed this county yet, so contributions here fund building the tool — the data work, the maps, the hosting. Once a committee claims it, this becomes dues that go to them.

Data provenance
- Registration denominators: Tennessee Secretary of State June 2026 voter registration report, total registration by county.
- Election results: Tennessee Secretary of State, August 6, 2026 unofficial primary results aggregated by district, and the gubernatorial primary county breakdown aggregated by county.
- County turnout is computed by dividing 2026 primary votes by June 2026 registered-voter totals.
- District and county boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb, January 1, 2025 vintage, as rendered in the thedems.org app.
- Per-county results for state and federal races: the Tennessee Secretary of State’s own county breakdown for each race, ingested race by race — candidate, party, votes and precincts completed, for every county that race appeared in.
- County and municipal offices and ballot measures: the county’s OWN election commission, which is the only place they are published — the state dashboard carries no county offices at all. Every county publishes in whatever format it chose, so these are read one format at a time: a county’s results feed where it has one, the report its vote-counting equipment prints where it does not, and a neighbour who types the numbers in and links the page they came from where no computer can read it. Where a county has not been ingested yet, this page says so plainly and points to how to help, rather than showing nothing or implying it held no county elections.
- When these numbers were counted: each county’s report carries its own printed date and time, and that is the one shown here — not when we fetched it. Counties keep counting after election night as provisional ballots are decided and mailed ballots are cured, and they republish at the same address when they do. So a figure can go up days later, and results stay unofficial until the county election commission certifies them.
