White Bluff - Subject to local approval, authorizes persons who reside outside the boundaries of White Bluff but within the boundaries of Dickson County, and who own real property located within the boundaries of White Bluff, to vote in all White Bluff municipal elections; non-resident real property owners must own at least one-half interest in such real property, and such real property must be at least 5,000 square feet. - Amends Chapter 257 of the Private Acts of 1923; as amended and rewritten.
This bill would allow non-resident property owners in Dickson County who own at least half of a property of 5,000 square feet or more within White Bluff to vote in White Bluff municipal elections. The law requires these non-resident owners to follow standard voter registration procedures and present registration receipts when voting. However, the bill includes a special provision stating it will not take effect unless the White Bluff town council approves it by a two-thirds vote. The legislation amends existing state law to expand voting eligibility beyond current residents while maintaining local control over whether the change is implemented.
