Amendment 3
Amendment 3
Tennessee · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Amend the list of crime victims' rights in the constitution
A yes vote means
The state constitution will be updated to include additional protections and rights for crime victims beyond what's currently listed.
A no vote means
The constitution stays the same and crime victims' rights remain as they are currently defined.
Simple explanation
Right now, crime victims have certain rights listed in the state constitution—like being told about court proceedings or getting restitution. This amendment would add more rights to that official list. Think of it like updating a rulebook to make sure victims get treated fairly in new situations the original rulebook didn't cover.
