SB0347 amends Tennessee election laws to clarify and simplify the verification of voter signatures on election-related documents.

SB0347 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, to redefine "signature" for election-related documents, making it easier for election officials to verify voter signatures. The bill specifies that a voter's signature must be a full, legal handwritten signature in legible English alphabetic characters. It also allows for initials with the full legal last name if the voter's registration record uses initials. If a voter cannot write, they may make an individual mark, such as an "X," with their full legal name written by a witness.
