HB 2596 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, requires a county election commission, upon receipt of a bona fide complaint of a violation of a person's right to vote in an election, to document the details of the complaint and electronically submit the complaint to the state election commission. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 4; Title 8; Title 29; Title 39 and Title 41.

HB 2596 requires Tennessee county election commissions to document and electronically submit valid voter complaint details to the state election commission when they receive a bona fide complaint about a voting rights violation. This procedural bill directly affects county election commissions (who must follow the submission process) and voters whose rights are alleged to be violated. The key provision mandates electronic reporting to the state commission, amending multiple Tennessee Code sections (Titles 2, 4, 8, 29, 39, and 41) to establish this requirement. The bill is currently pending amendment and has not yet become law.
