The Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) is conducting an ongoing study of voting and election systems in Tennessee. The first report on voting machine systems was presented to TACIR in June.

TACIR staff prepared a subsequent report of recommendations for improving Tennessee's election systems, including adoption of voter verified paper audit trails. The report also has results from a survey of county election administrators across the state. This report was presented to TACIR last week. Following are some highlights from the study.
