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. -

This proposed constitutional amendment (SJR 624) would require U.S. citizenship as a mandatory qualification for voting in all Tennessee state, county, and municipal elections - including local ballot measures and referendums. It would replace current voting requirements by explicitly stating that only U.S. citizens may vote in these elections, removing any existing provisions that might allow non-citizens to participate. The amendment specifies that citizenship, age (18+), state residency, and registration would be required, with uniform standards across Tennessee. If enacted, it would directly affect non-citizen residents who currently vote in local elections in Tennessee.
