1. I’ll be turning 18 in 2024. Can I vote in any of the elections?
It depends! If you will be 18 by the next election, you can register to vote in the state of Tennessee. According the the National Conference of State Legislatures, “a person who will be eighteen (18) on or before the date of the next election after the person applies to register and who is otherwise eligible to register” can register to vote. Check out How to Register to Vote in Tennessee at the top of this page if this applies to you.

2. I have a felony on my record. Is there a way for me to vote?
For certain felonies, there is a two-step process you can follow to have your conviction expunged and your voting rights restored. If you were convicted of specific felonies within specific date ranges, you are not eligible to have your voting rights restored. First, you must receive a pardon or have full rights of citizenship restored. Second, you must meet requirements related to paying restitution and court costs, if any, and be current on any child support obligations. Contact the Clarksville chapter for the NAACP to get started.
