Election Laws - As introduced, requires county election commissions to publish office hours for early voting 30 days rather than 25 days prior to the day of the election. - Amends TCA Title 2.
SB 1228 would require Tennessee county election commissions to publish early voting office hours 30 days before an election, instead of the current 25 days. This change directly affects local election offices by extending the notice period for voters. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 2, Section 2-6-103(c), to update this deadline. The bill failed in the Senate State and Local Government Committee on March 25, 2025, and did not advance further.
