Tennessee election training covers barred temporary IDs

Beginning January 1, 2026, Tennessee's election coordinator must add training on certain temporary IDs to election education standards. The training covers IDs issued to non-U.S. citizens that existing state law bars as proof of identity in elections. The law does not change which IDs voters may use.
