Immigration checks for voter registration
Tennessee election officials can use federal immigration records to verify voter registration. The state’s voter eligibility portal may access a federal system that checks immigration status. This access is allowed only if the federal agency offers the data through a secure web service. These checks can confirm status or flag noncitizen status that makes someone ineligible to register. The law is in effect now.
