SB 2583 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, reduces the period for early voting from 15 days to seven days. - Amends TCA Title 2.

SB 2583 reduces Tennessee's standard early voting period from 15 days to seven days for most elections, requiring voters to cast ballots between five and seven days before election day. It directly affects all Tennessee voters participating in regular elections who use early voting, shortening the window to access ballots at county election offices. The bill also maintains a 14-day early voting period specifically for presidential preference primaries, as noted in Section 2. This change modifies existing voting procedures without altering voter eligibility or ballot types.
