SB 2721 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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 to vote in local elections for the town of White Bluff, provided they own at least half of a property within the town that is at least 5,000 square feet. The law requires these voters to register and show registration receipts like any other voter. However, the bill includes a condition that it will only take effect if the White Bluff town council approves it with a two-thirds vote. This change modifies existing state laws governing voter eligibility for that specific municipality.
