House Bill 139, sponsored by Warner, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to establish restrictions on online voting. The bill introduces a new subsection (d) to Section 2-9-110, which explicitly states that voting equipment and machines are prohibited from transmitting or receiving ballots or being used to cast ballots via the internet. This restriction is set to apply universally, with the exception of provisions for military members and overseas citizens, as outlined in Chapter 6, Part 5 of the same title.

The bill aims to enhance the security and integrity of the voting process in Tennessee by limiting the use of internet-based voting methods. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
