Description State officials inadvertently omitted the last two paragraphs of the proposed Tennessee constitutional amendment that's on the Nov. 7 ballot to authorize local property-tax freezes for homeowners 65 and older.

State Election Coordinator Brook Thompson said Wednesday that it's too late to reprogram electronic voting machines across the state with the complete text of the amendment. So three steps will be taken to ensure voters know exactly what they're voting on: publish the complete amendment in major newspapers, post complete copies of it alongside the sample ballots displayed in all voting precincts, and post paper copies on all voting machines.
