HB 574 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, requires acceptable forms of identification to cast a vote in an election in this state to be valid and unexpired; prohibits the registration of an applicant to vote without such a valid, unexpired identification. - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 574 requires voters in Tennessee to present valid, unexpired photo identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) when registering to vote or casting a ballot. It prohibits county election commissions from processing voter registrations without proof of such valid ID at the time of application. The bill explicitly states that expired or invalid ID documents do not satisfy this requirement. This change directly affects all individuals seeking to register or vote in Tennessee elections, making valid, unexpired ID a mandatory condition for participation.
