ID Laws
Tennessee does have voter ID laws which help to protect the integrity of our democratic system. To vote you need to bring at least one of these forms of identification (they may be current OR expired):
TN driver's license;
TN Dept. of Safety photo ID;
TN gun carry permit with photo;
US military photo ID;
US passport;
Or, any other photo ID issued by the federal or Tennessee state government.
There are exemptions to this requirement:
If you are an absentee voter;
If you live in a nursing home or assisted living facility and vote at the facility;
If you are hospitalized at the time of voting;
If you have a religious objection to being photographed;
Or, if you are indigent and unable to obtain a photo ID without paying a fee (non-driving photo IDs cost $9.50 and are valid for 5 years).
You can obtain a free photo ID for the purposes of voting by visiting any county DMV or by calling 1-866-849-3548.
For additional election information you can call the TN Division of Elections at 1-877-850-4949.
