Tennessee Republican Party Removes 149 Candidates from May 2026 Primary Ballot

On March 5, the Tennessee Republican Party notified the Secretary of State that it had removed 149 candidates from its May 2026 primary ballot. Many were removed because of a party rule that candidates must have voted in at least three of the last four statewide Republican primary ballots. Many others were removed because they didn’t pay filing fees to the party. These fees are not in state law, but the party promulgated them. The Democratic Party has no such fees. The Republican fees range as high as $5,000 for gubernatorial candidates. See this story.
