Bill > HB2615

This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 2, which governs elections, proposes to reduce the period for early voting in most elections from a maximum of twelve days to a maximum of seven days, meaning voters will have fewer days to cast their ballots before election day. Specifically, for regular elections, voters will have between five and twelve days before the election to vote early, but the bill inserts language that changes this to "not more than twelve (12) days nor less than five (5) days," which, when read in conjunction with the deletion of the previous wording, effectively shortens the window. However, for presidential preference primaries or elections held concurrently with them, the early voting period will be extended to a maximum of fourteen days and a minimum of seven days before the election, with an exception for absentee voting.
