How Do I Register to Vote in Tennessee?


What ID Do I Need to Vote?

There are a few different IDs you can bring with you to the polls, even if they're expired. Namely:

  • Tennessee driver license with your photo
  • United States Passport
  • Photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
  • Photo ID issued by the federal or Tennessee state government
  • United States Military photo ID
  • Tennessee handgun carry permit with your photo

If you are voting for the first time, and your ID is expired, just bring a copy of a current utility bill with your name and address in addition to your expired ID.
