Bill > HJR0808

This resolution proposes an amendment to Article IV, Section 1, of the Constitution of Tennessee, which governs voting rights. The amendment would explicitly state that only citizens of the United States are eligible to vote in all federal, state, county, municipal, and district elections held in Tennessee, as well as for any ballot measures or referendums. This change aims to clarify and reinforce the requirement of U.S. citizenship for suffrage in Tennessee elections, while also maintaining existing provisions for age, residency, and voter registration requirements, and empowering the General Assembly to enact laws for election integrity. The proposed amendment will be referred to the next legislative session for further consideration and will be published on the Secretary of State's and General Assembly's websites.
