Election Laws - As introduced, prohibits using voting machines or voting equipment to cast, receive, or transmit an election ballot via the internet, except for military personnel and citizens abroad. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 6, Part 5 and Title 2, Chapter 9.

HB 139 prohibits the use of voting machines or equipment to cast, receive, or transmit election ballots over the internet, except for military personnel and citizens living abroad. The bill amends Tennessee election law (TCA Title 2, Chapters 6 and 9) to require that all voting equipment must not transmit or receive ballots via the internet. This directly affects all voters in Tennessee elections who would otherwise use internet-connected voting systems, with the exception of eligible military and overseas voters covered under existing provisions. The law aims to restrict internet-based ballot transmission through official voting equipment, maintaining traditional voting methods.
