HB 722 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, clarifies that the county election commissions have the duty to purge the permanent registration records of certain voters unless otherwise prohibited by federal law. - Amends TCA Section 2-2-132.

HB 722 requires Tennessee county election commissions to remove voters from permanent registration lists when federal law does not prohibit it, as specified in existing voter purging rules (TCA §2-2-106). It directly affects voters whose registrations are removed and county election offices responsible for maintaining voter rolls. The bill clarifies that commissions must follow these procedures without additional state restrictions, updating Tennessee Code §2-2-132 to explicitly state the duty. This amendment makes the purging requirement clearer but does not create new voter removal criteria.
