I am interested in serving on a board, how can I get information?
We think it’s great you are interested in serving on one of Tennessee’s many boards and commissions!
To inquire about serving on a specific board, please reach out to the appointing authority of that board.
If you are unsure of the appointing authority, you can search our Boards and Commissions page here. Some boards have multiple appointing authorities, by clicking on a specific member’s name, you can see who is responsible for appointing a person to that particular position.
Will I have to pay for a Tennessee Blue Book?
No, Tennessee Blue Books are free to Tennessee residents
Can a student participate in the mock election if they are homeschooled?
You can still participate! We encourage students who are part of a homeschool association to conduct a mock election and report their results.
All Tennessee schools can participate including public, private and home school associations in grades PreK – 12.
How can I receive a Tennessee Blue Book if I live in a different state?
Tennessee Blue Books are subject to availability to out-of-state residents and may not be readily available upon initial release.
Please note if you live out-of-state and fill out a request form online, your request may be delayed to ensure availability to Tennessee citizens. Since the Tennessee Blue Book is released in the spring, we recommend waiting until the end of the year to inquire about availability.
