HB 1283 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As enacted, requires the coordinator of elections to include, in the coordinator's minimum standards for educating election officials, training on temporary forms of identification issued to non-United States citizens that may not be used as evidence of identification on an application for ballot. - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 1283 changes Tennessee election law to require county election commissions to retain voter purge records for three years instead of two. This applies to records of voters removed from registration rolls, affecting local election offices responsible for managing voter databases. The bill does not address voter identification requirements for non-citizens, as the title may suggest, but solely modifies the retention period for purge records. It was enacted as Public Chapter 394 on May 13, 2025.
