How to Register to Vote Online - Companion Guide
Step 1:
Step 1: Go to GoVoteTN.com on your computer or smartphone. Click the “Register to Vote” button on or before October 5, 2020. This page explains the requirements. You must be:
- 18 years old by election day
- Not previously convicted of a felony (or, you must have had your voting rights restored. Learn more about that process here).
Then, click “Next.”
Step 2:
You’re ready to register! Just some Yes or No questions to determine your Voter Eligibility. These are easy, but be careful — lying on this page is a felony. These are things like:
- US citizenship
- TN residence
- Past felony convictions
- Age
It’ll ask you if you understand that your voter registration is a public record, which can be seen by anyone (except your private info like your social security or driver’s license number). Once you answer the questions, click “Next.”
Step 3:
Updated Voter Registration vs. New Voter Registration Voter Info. Select the one that applies to you. Pick New Voter Registration if you either:
- Never registered to vote in TN before.
- Move from one county to another county within TN.
- Are unsure if you have registered in another county within TN.
Pick Updated Voter Registration if you either:
- Moved within the county you are currently registered to vote in.
- Are currently registered to vote in your county but your name has legally changed.
This page is also asking for your name, address, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, and Driver’s License or ID Number. Once you answer the questions click “Next”.
Step 4:
Just a little Additional Info:
- Your place of birth
- Your gender
- Your email and phone number (optional)
- Are you interested in working on Election Day? (It’s a Yes or No question)
Click “Next.”
Step 5:
What’s your Residential and Mailing Address? Click “Next.”
If your Residential and Mailing address are one and the same then after you fill out your address in the Residential section click the “Same as Residential” box in the Mailing Address section making sure it has a checkmark.
Step 6:
Almost done! Just two more yes or no questions about Previous Info you may have:
- Have you previously registered to vote under another name?
- Have you previously registered to vote at another address?
Click “Next.”
Step 7:
Final Declarations. You’ve already done this, but they ask you to re-confirm that you’re eligible to vote. Check the box and click “Next.”
Step 8:
Review & Submit. Double-check everything you entered and make sure that it’s accurate. When you have finished reviewing the information, click “Submit.”
Congratulations! You are now registered to vote! Make sure you Vote It Up on Election Day!
