Election Laws - As introduced, requires a municipality that adopts an ordinance requiring nonresident property owners to vote by absentee ballot to file such ordinance with the county election commission no later than 75 days, rather than 60 days, before the election. - Amends TCA Title 2 and Title 41.
HB 1267 modifies Tennessee election law by extending the deadline for municipalities to submit ordinances requiring nonresident property owners to vote by absentee ballot. Specifically, it changes the filing requirement from 60 days to 75 days before an election with the county election commission. This bill directly affects Tennessee municipalities that have adopted such absentee ballot rules for nonresident property owners. The key change is solely the 15-day extension of the filing deadline, with no other policy changes to voting procedures.
