田纳西共和党从2026年5月的初选中撤除149名候选人, The Tennessee Republican Party has removed 149 candidates from the May 2026 primary ballot, citing new party by-law requirements including voting in at least three of the last four statewide Republican primaries and paying a $250 fee. 被除名者中包括布隆特州和格林州的若干州官员和候选人,布隆特州有5人,格林州有4人在符合财务和投票标准后恢复了原职。 Among those removed were several county officials and candidates in Blount and Greene counties, with five in Blount County and four in Greene County later reinstated after meeting the financial and voting criteria. 缔约国负责处理所有资格决定,从2月25日起向选举办公室发出通知,最后上诉应于3月5日前提交。 The state party, which handles all eligibility determinations, sent notifications to election offices starting February 25, with final appeals due by March 5. 一些候选人报告说没有收到任何事先通知,这引起了对透明度和公平性的关切。 Some candidates reported receiving no prior notice, raising concerns about transparency and fairness. 这些变化源于2025年的一项立法修正案和该党最新的附则,后者现在对候选人资格实行更严格的标准。 The changes stem from a 2025 legislative amendment and the party’s updated by-laws, which now enforce stricter standards for candidate eligibility.
