Amends TCA Title 2.
Tennessee HB0855 amends the law governing the nomination process for statewide political parties, requiring them to nominate candidates for all offices with partisan elections through primary elections held in August or November. The bill allows counties where a party previously used a different nomination method in 2022 or 2024 to continue that method, except for certain key offices, which must be nominated via primary elections. Additionally, if a party does not use an alternative method in subsequent years, it must revert to the primary election process for nominations.
