The U.S. Senate Class II page, read October 18, 2026, includes Tennessee among seats whose terms expire in 2027. The Secretary of State says Constitutional Amendment #1 changes Article I, section 15 by allowing a court to hold a defendant without bail before trial for listed offenses and by requiring the court to state the reasons for granting or denying bail in those cases. Amendment #2 adds text to Article II, section 28 that prohibits the Legislature from imposing a state property tax on real, personal, or mixed property.
