This is required by the NVRA, a Federal Law applying to every state and is also a part of the Tennessee State Constitution as well as Tennessee Code 2-2-102.

There is currently no law or regulation requiring proof or evidence of citizenship to register to vote! The NVRA prohibits Tennessee's ability change this. The requirement is mostly enforced by the "Honor System". When registering to vote a person must check a box saying they are a citizen of the United States but it is not legal to ask them for proof of citizenship at time of registration?

With millions of foreign nationals crossing our borders and being given access all across the United States, combined with a Biden Executive Order 14019 for every Federal Agency to register voters, many of which do not know our laws or are fluent in English, there is a huge potential for non-citizens to register and vote.
