Restroom access rules for campaign workers

Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee county election commissions may designate restrooms in election buildings for campaign workers and volunteers. Workers and volunteers outside the polling place can use these restrooms, but cannot enter the polling place. Before crossing the designated election boundary, they must cover or remove clothing and other items bearing campaign material. Crossing without doing so, or trying to get votes inside that boundary, may lead to punishment under state election law.
