Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to Article IV, Section 1, of the Constitution of Tennessee, to specify that only citizens of the United States may vote in state, county, or municipal elections. -

HJR 808 proposes amending Tennessee's constitution to explicitly require U.S. citizenship for voting in all state, county, and municipal elections. The bill would replace existing voting eligibility language with a provision stating only U.S. citizens meeting age, residency, and registration requirements may vote. It specifically prohibits non-citizens from voting in any election, including local offices, ballot measures, or referendums. This change would apply statewide to all elections covered under Tennessee's current voting rules. The resolution is currently under review by the Elections & Campaign Finance Subcommittee.
