NOTE FOR FIRST-TIME VOTERS – Be aware that, while having your voter registration card is helpful to speed up the early voting process, you do not need it to vote. However, all voters must present a photo identification issued by the State of Tennessee (such as a Tennessee Driver’s License) or the Federal Government (such as a passport).

Out-of-state driver’s licenses and student IDs are not sufficient for identification purposes for voting under Tennessee law. For more information on photo ID, visit: https://sos.tn.gov/elections/faqs/what-id-is-required-when-voting?
