Election Laws - As introduced, enacts the "Election Integrity Act of 2026"; creates a process by which a candidate in a local election may challenge the results of the election prior to certification of the election if the candidate has reason to believe errors were made in the adminstration of the election. - Amends TCA Title 2 and Title 49.

SB 2164, the "Election Integrity Act of 2026," creates a process for candidates in local Tennessee elections (county, city, or school board races) to challenge election results if they believe administrative errors occurred. Candidates must file a written challenge with their county election commission within 10 business days of the election. The county commission investigates for 15 days, then sends evidence to the state commission, which decides within 21 days whether errors changed the outcome. If errors are confirmed and could alter results, the state commission orders a special election; otherwise, the election is certified. This process only affects the specific challenged election, not other races on the ballot.
