Bill > HB1897

This bill requires each county election commission in Tennessee to verify every voter registration applicant against the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program database before adding them to the voter rolls, ensuring that individuals who are not U.S. citizens are not registered to vote. Additionally, the bill mandates that county election commissions must conduct this check of the entire voter registration list through the SAVE program database at least once every three months to continuously ensure that non-U.S. citizens are not on the voter rolls. The SAVE program is a federal system used to verify the immigration status of individuals applying for federal benefits, and this bill extends its use to voter registration in Tennessee to prevent non-citizens from voting.
