Using a computer, phone or tablet, any U.S. citizen with a driver’s license or a photo ID issued by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security can register in minutes at GoVoteTN.gov. Each submission is checked against the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s database.

A paper voter registration application is also available to download at GoVoteTN.gov. Completed paper voter registration applications must be submitted or postmarked to your local county election commission office by Oct. 11, 2022. Election Day registration is not available in Tennessee.
