Once properly registered to vote in Tennessee, a person remains permanently registered unless the election commission must remove the registration from its records as a result of acts that require purging a voter. T.C.A. 2-2-105 and 2-2-106.

Acts Purging a Registered Voter

The registration of a voter shall be purged:

  3. Upon the death of the voter.
  4. Upon receiving official confirmation that the voter has been convicted of an infamous crime as defined in T.C.A. 40-20-112.
