House Bill 139, sponsored by Warner, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to address online voting procedures. The bill introduces a new subsection (d) to Section 2-9-110, which explicitly prohibits voting equipment and machines from transmitting or receiving ballots over the internet, with the exception of provisions made for military members and overseas citizens as outlined in Chapter 6, Part 5 of the same title.

This legislation aims to enhance the security of the voting process by restricting the use of internet-based systems for casting ballots, thereby ensuring that traditional voting methods remain the primary means of participation in elections, except for specific authorized groups. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
