SB 366 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, requires the officers of a party to file with the secretary of state and with the coordinator of elections a copy of the rules under which the party and its subdivisions operate within 15 days, instead of 30 days, following adoption in order for the party to have nominees on a ballot or exercise other rights of a political party. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 9; Title 10; Title 17; Title 27; Title 39; Title 40; Title 49; Title 54; Title 57 and Title 67.

SB 366 shortens the deadline for Tennessee political parties to submit their operating rules to election officials. It requires parties to file these rules with the secretary of state and election coordinator within 15 days of adoption (instead of 30 days) to maintain ballot access for nominees and other party rights. This change applies to all major party rules governing elections across Tennessee. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 2-1-114(2) to reflect the new 15-day requirement.
