SB 2378 Tennessee Senate · 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.

SB 2378 requires Tennessee county election commissions to document and electronically submit any legitimate complaint about a voting rights violation to the state election commission. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections related to elections (Titles 2, 4, 8, 29, 39, and 41) to establish this standardized complaint process. It directly affects county election commissions, which must now follow this procedure for all verified voting rights complaints. The bill creates a procedural mechanism for reporting voting issues but does not change voting rules or eligibility. This is a procedural update focused on complaint handling, not substantive voting policy.
