SB2564

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, relative to elections.

Introduced·2/2/26

SB2564 amends Tennessee election laws to enhance ballot security and early voting procedures.

SB2564 amends Tennessee election laws by requiring a separate check-in process for voters to obtain a ballot by precinct. It mandates that all ballots are secured and placed in an optical scanner by individual precinct, ensuring they are not co-mingled with ballots from other precincts. The bill also requires early voting satellite locations to serve no more than four precincts, be evenly distributed, and use secure, serialized, watermarked, hand-marked paper ballots. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
