House Bill 620, sponsored by Eldridge, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 2-3-302(f), to introduce a new provision regarding convenience voting. The bill adds a subdivision (6) that specifies criteria for counties eligible for certain voting provisions based on population. Specifically, it states that a county must have a population of not less than 64,400 and not more than 64,500, as determined by the 2020 federal census or any subsequent federal census.
This legislation aims to clarify the eligibility of counties for convenience voting based on their population size, thereby potentially impacting how voting is conducted in those areas. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for the public welfare.
