Sunbright voters have August 6 polling date, November alderman election ahead
Sunbright voters assigned to precinct 5-1 have a confirmed polling place for Morgan County’s August 6, 2026, federal and state primary and county general election: Sunbright City Hall at 120 Melton Drive. Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The polling-place assignment applies to precinct 5-1, not to every voter in Morgan County. The City of Sunbright also lists City Hall at 120 Melton Drive, Sunbright, Tennessee 37872, matching the address in the Morgan County Election Commission’s notice.
August and November are separate election dates
The August 6 election is separate from Sunbright’s municipal election, which is scheduled for November 3, 2026. The Morgan County notice identifies the November date for Sunbright municipal voting and outlines the deadlines leading to that election.
The November municipal ballot lists two alderman positions: one four-year seat and one two-year unexpired term. The available notice does not provide a current list of filed candidates, so the number of candidates and whether either seat is contested cannot be determined from the approved information.
Candidate and registration deadlines
The next major date in the municipal-election schedule is Thursday, August 20, 2026, at noon. That is the deadline for candidates to qualify for Sunbright’s municipal election.
Candidates who qualify will have until Thursday, August 27, at noon, to withdraw. For voters who need to register before the November contest, October 5, 2026, is the last day to register to vote for the November 3 election.
Those deadlines give the city’s election schedule a clear sequence: the August 6 county election comes first, municipal qualifying closes on August 20, withdrawals close on August 27, and voter registration for the November election closes on October 5.
Election information available for Sunbright
Sunbright is identified by the University of Tennessee Municipal Technical Advisory Service as a city in Morgan County. Its municipal profile lists a 2025 certified population of 519 and identifies November 3, 2026, as the city’s next election date.
The approved election information does not identify August 6 candidates, ballot outcomes or winners. It also does not say whether a contested Sunbright municipal race appears on the August ballot. For now, the confirmed information for precinct 5-1 voters is the August 6 polling location and hours, followed by the November municipal ballot’s two alderman positions and its candidate and registration deadlines.
