Three individuals have officially qualified for the upcoming Loretto City Election, set to take place in Loretto, Tennessee, on April 28, 2026. This election is particularly significant as it will shape the future leadership of the city.
In this election, two seats are available for candidates. Notably, John Pettus has opted not to seek reelection, creating an opportunity for new candidates to emerge. Louis Andy Etienne and Ridge Mattox have both qualified to run for the alderman seat, one of the two contested positions. Meanwhile, Steve McMasters will run unopposed for reelection as mayor, indicating a continuation of his leadership without opposition.
Residents wishing to participate in the election must ensure they are registered by the deadline of March 30, 2026. This voter registration deadline is crucial, as only registered voters will be able to cast their ballots.
In addition to the registration deadline, early voting will take place from April 8 to April 23, 2026. This period allows residents to vote before the official election day. Early voting will occur at the Election Commission offices, located at 702 Mahr Avenue in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.
Details regarding filing requirements or fees for candidates were not included in this announcement. As the election date approaches, residents are encouraged to stay informed about the candidates and the voting process to ensure their voices are heard in this important civic duty.
