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 the criteria for counties eligible for convenience voting 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.
The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. This amendment aims to clarify the population parameters for counties that can participate in convenience voting, potentially impacting the accessibility of voting in those areas.
