Voting on the Right to Hunt and Fish in Tennessee This November?
September 1, 2010
A constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to hunt and fish in Tennessee will go before voters in November’s general election.
Voters will see the Constitutional Amendment question on the ballot right after the Governor candidates.
You will be asked to vote either "yes" or "no" to the following question: "Shall Article XI, Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee be amended by adding the following sentences at the end of the section:"
"The citizens of this state shall have the personal right to hunt and fish, subject to reasonable regulations and restrictions prescribed by law. The recognition of this right does not abrogate any private or public property rights, nor does it limit the state’s power to regulate commercial activity. Traditional manners and means may be used to take non-threatened species."
Voters will also be electing a new governor, a new representative for the U.S. House of Representatives from the sixth district. State representative and senators will also be elected. In LaVergne, Smyrna and Eagleville, new Mayors and Councilmen or Aldermen will also be chosen. The election will be Tuesday, November 2nd. Early voting is set for October 13th-28th.
