Senate Bill 232 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Chapter 7, to establish new regulations regarding restroom facilities at polling places. The bill allows county election commissions to designate specific restroom facilities within the building where elections are held for the use of campaign workers and volunteers. These individuals are permitted to use the designated restrooms but are prohibited from entering the polling place itself. Additionally, they must cover or remove any clothing or items that display campaign material before approaching the polling area.

The bill also stipulates that any campaign worker or volunteer who fails to comply with the requirement to cover or remove campaign materials, or who attempts to solicit votes within the designated boundary, may face penalties as outlined in Section 2-19-119. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the voting process while accommodating the needs of campaign personnel.
