Bill > SB2299

This bill mandates that the Tennessee Secretary of State, in collaboration with election officials, create and maintain a free and unbiased online page for every local, state, and federal election, providing voters with essential information about each candidate. This information will include the candidate's name as it appears on the ballot, a submitted photograph, a link to their website and contact details, and their party affiliation, if any, all presented in a consistent format to ensure fairness. The pages will be searchable by various criteria, including candidate name and office, and will allow voters to see all candidates on their specific ballot, with county election commission websites also linking to these pages. Candidates will have a secure portal to submit their information, and they are responsible for its accuracy, with a deadline set to ensure the pages are available at least 14 days before early voting begins, and they will be allowed one update before early voting starts. Archived pages will remain accessible for at least a year after the election.
