SB2164 amends Tennessee election laws to establish a process for candidates to challenge local election results.
SB2164 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2 and Title 49, to create a formal process for candidates to challenge local election results. The bill defines "local election" and allows candidates to file challenges if they believe errors occurred in the election administration. The county election commission must investigate these claims within fifteen business days. If the state election commission finds the claims lack merit or would not change the election outcome, the election can be certified. If the claims have merit and could change the outcome, a special election is ordered.
