HB 620 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As enacted, authorizes Hamblen County to participate in the convenience voting center pilot project. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 3, Part 3.

HB 620 amends Tennessee election law to authorize Hamblen County to join a pilot program for convenience voting centers. The bill adds a specific population requirement (64,400-64,500 residents per the 2020 census) for counties eligible to participate in the pilot, which Hamblen County meets. This change directly affects Hamblen County by allowing it to implement convenience voting centers as part of the pilot program. The bill does not alter existing voting procedures but establishes a new eligibility criterion for the pilot initiative.
