TENNESSEE
Voter Registration Deadline: October 5, 2020

To register to vote in the state of Tennessee, an individual must meet the following qualifications:

  • Be a citizen of the United States
  • Be 18 years of age or older on or before the date of the next election.
  • Be a resident of Tennessee.
  • If you have been convicted of a felony, your eligibility to register and vote depends upon the crime you were convicted of and the date of your conviction. If your conviction made you ineligible, you may regain your eligibility if your conviction has been expunged or if you have had your voting rights restored, unless you were convicted of a crime that rendered you permanently ineligible to vote.
