Photo ID

Bring one of these, even if expired: a Tennessee driver’s license with photo, a Tennessee Department of Safety photo ID, a Tennessee handgun carry permit with photo, a U.S. passport or passport card, a federal or Tennessee government employee photo ID, or a U.S. military photo ID, including a Veteran Identification Card.

Not accepted: college student IDs, IDs from other states, and city or county IDs (including library cards). Without an accepted ID you vote a provisional ballot and have two business days after the election to show ID at the Election Commission. The Department of Safety issues a free photo ID for voting.

Registering

The deadline for Nov. 3 was Oct. 5, 2026; Tennessee closes registration 30 days before each election. To register for later elections you must be 18 by Election Day, a U.S. citizen, a Tennessee resident and not barred by a felony conviction (or have had your rights restored).

  • Online at govotetn.gov, with a Tennessee driver’s license or state ID.
  • In person at the Election Commission or at state agencies such as driver service centers.
  • By mail with the state form; first-time mail registrants must vote in person.

Registration does not transfer from another county or state; if you moved here, register again.

Voting by mail

Tennessee requires a reason, such as being 60 or older, being away from the county during early voting and on Election Day, being a full-time college student elsewhere, illness or disability, or military or overseas service. The request for Nov. 3 is due by close of business Oct. 24, 2026, and the ballot must reach the Election Commission by 7 p.m. Nov. 3; a postmark is not enough.

Election Day

Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You must vote at your assigned precinct; find it on the polling locations page or the precinct maps (PDF). Older voters and voters with disabilities whose polling place is inaccessible may vote at the Election Commission office on Election Day if they file an affidavit by Oct. 24.

What this means for you

  • The Nov. 3 election is over. See the unofficial results; they stay unofficial until the commission certifies them.
  • Pack a Tennessee or federal photo ID; a student ID will not work.
  • A mail ballot must reach the Election Commission by 7 p.m. Tuesday; a postmark is not enough.
  • Precinct-by-precinct results are on the commission’s Nov. 3 results page.
