Do Knox County commissioners ever disagree on a vote?
Answer as of June 15, 2026. New records have loaded since — this answer may be out of date.
Yes. Many decisions are unanimous, but the record also holds plenty of split votes. Here are two contested roll calls, shown exactly as the minutes recorded them.
A split vote is one where at least one commissioner votes against the majority. The tallies below are aye–no–abstain–absent, drawn straight from the roll call.
A contested rezoning vote
8 in favor, 1 against, 1 abstained, 1 absent
