The departments of Safety, Health, Human Services, Mental Health and Retardation, and Veteran's Affairs are required to include voter registration applications with their own department's forms. Other government offices such as libraries, post offices, county clerk offices, and the Register of Deeds will also have voter forms available to the public. 1994--The Tennessee Early Voting Act replaced the previous absentee voting system used for the state. Tennesseans now have a period of 15 days in which to vote. 2002--Help America Vote Act which requires mandatory changes and improvements in the electoral process to improve voting systems, to implement provisional voting, and to establish a statewide voter registration database.
