Tennessee Organizing
As the Prohibition Party works to move forward, we are looking into further developing state-level organization in the State of Tennessee. We are working to grow our membership, develop our state-level organization, look for opportunities to run candidates for office, and prepare for trying to get on the ballot in Tennessee for the 2028 presidential elections.
Get Involved
We welcome people who are interested in building a better future for their communities to join us. There are a variety of ways that you can get involved as a member; from helping with policy advocacy, to organizing efforts, to helping with campaigns, and beyond.
If you wish to join the Prohibition Party, you can sign up online here.

State and Local Candidates
In Tennessee, candidates can get on the ballot for U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, Governor, or State Legislature through the independent nominating petition process, with a minimum of 25 valid signatures. The process for petitioning to get on the ballot in 2026 will start in early January and has its deadline on March 10th. The petitioning period in future election years will likely be around the same time of year. We are looking for members who are willing and able to put in the work to run as a candidate. If you are someone who is interested, you can email zack.kusnir@prohibitionparty.org
​
If you are interested in running as a Prohibition Party candidate for local office, check with local election officials to see what the local ballot access requirements would be for that office, and contact prohibitionists@gmail.com
Preparations for 2028
We are working on preparations for trying to get on the Ballot in Tennessee in the 2028 presidential elections. To get on the ballot, we will need to gather at least 275 valid signatures and produce a slate of 11 electors. We will need one elector in each of the state’s nine congressional districts, plus two other electors from any part of the state. If you are interested in volunteering to be a signature gatherer or in serving as an elector, you can email prohibitionists@gmail.com
