SB 2299 requires Tennessee's Secretary of State to create a free, nonpartisan online page showing candidate information for all local, state, and federal elections. It mandates that each page include a candidate's ballot name, photo, website/link, contact details, and party affiliation, displayed uniformly for all candidates running for the same office. The site must be searchable by name, office, or location and accessible at least 14 days before early voting, with updates allowed once after the submission deadline. All candidate information pages must remain publicly available for one year after the election. This directly affects voters seeking election information and candidates who must submit their details.
