Election Laws - As introduced, reduces the period for early voting from 15 days to seven days. - Amends TCA Title 2.
HB 2615 reduces Tennessee's early voting period for regular elections from 15 days to 12 days (with a minimum of 5 days), and for presidential primary elections from 15 days to 14 days (with a minimum of 7 days). It directly affects all Tennessee voters who choose to cast ballots early, requiring them to vote within the shortened window before election day. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, specifically changing the timeframe for early voting at county election offices. This is a concrete policy change to the state's election procedures, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
