Election Laws - As introduced, repeals convenience voting; provides requirements for satellite voting locations during early voting. - Amends TCA Title 2.
HB 2304 repeals "convenience voting" (allowing voters to cast ballots at any early voting location) and establishes new rules for satellite voting sites during early voting periods. The bill requires satellite locations to serve no more than four precincts, be evenly distributed for accessibility, use secure paper ballots with serial numbers, and handle ballots strictly by precinct without mixing with other areas. It also mandates that satellite voting ends when early voting concludes and restricts election day voting to a voter’s residential precinct only. These changes would directly affect county election offices managing early voting sites and voters using satellite locations during early voting periods.
