Amends TCA Section 2-7-111.

Under present law, the officer of elections must post sample ballots, voting instructions, and other materials in conspicuous positions inside the polling place for the use of voters. The officer of elections must measure off the appropriate distance, generally 100 feet, from the entrances to the building in which the election is to be held and place boundary signs at that distance. Present law prohibits the display of campaign posters, signs, or other campaign materials, the distribution of campaign materials, and the solicitation of votes for or against any person, political party, or position on a question within the boundary.<br /> <br /> This bill requires the officer of elections to designate entrances to the building in which the election will be held that are for the use of voters. Under this bill, the officer of elections will be required to measure off the appropriate distance from the designated entrances only, instead of all entrances, and place boundary signs at that distance.<br /> <br /> ON FEBRUARY 28, 2019, THE SENATE SUBSTITUTED HOUSE BILL 28 FOR SENATE BILL 71, ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1, AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 28, AS AMENDED.<br /> <br /> AMENDMENT #1 requires the county election commission, instead of the officer of elections, to designate entrances to the building in which the election will be held that are for the use of voters.<br /> <br />
