State Election Commission Citizenship Verification Letter Information

In June 2024, the Tennessee State Election Commission distributed letters to more than 14,000 individuals asking for proof of citizenship to determine voting eligibility. We understand the confusion and fear this letter may have caused, and we are committed to providing the information and tools needed to help you cast your ballot with confidence this election season.

If you are a US citizen, whether you were born in the US or naturalized as a citizen, you have the right to vote and do not need to take any additional steps other than successfully registering to vote. You can check your voter registration status here. If you are registered you can vote as normal without additional action.

If you received one of these letters and have additional questions, contact the ACLU of Tennessee using their online form, or email them at intake@aclu-tn.org.

Voters can also call the voter protection hotline operated by the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights with any questions or concerns they may have regarding the voting process. Those affected can call or text the 866-Our-Vote hotline (866-687-8683) to be connected with a live, trained legal volunteer to provide an overview of their rights as prescribed by Tennessee law, how they can move forward to navigate this process, as well as provide guidance or next steps on any part of the voting process. The hotline will work closely with our partners Organize Tennessee and Civic Tennessee to connect voters who call in to local and state based resources like us if the issue they reported requires local follow-up by partners on the ground.
