TN HB0937

Voting rights for persons convicted of felonies ("infamous crimes") are automatically restored upon completion of their full sentence, including any parole or probation, eliminating the previous requirement for court restoration of citizenship rights

Voter registrations are suspended (not purged) upon felony conviction, and the state coordinator of elections must maintain lists of suspended and restored voter registrations

Persons convicted of murder, rape, treason, or voter fraud are permanently ineligible to register and vote in Tennessee

The Department of Correction must provide released inmates with a certificate of final discharge, voter registration information, and documentation of any restitution, court costs, or child support owed

By January 1, 2026, the coordinator of elections must send certified letters to persons with felony convictions between January 14, 1973 and May 18, 1981, informing them they never lost voting rights and do not need restoration
