HB 1325 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

enabling supervisors of the checklist to correct the checklist on any day of the week.

HB 1325 changes election procedures by removing specific day restrictions for correcting voter checklists. Currently, supervisors must hold checklist correction sessions on a Saturday (6-13 days before an election) and another session the day before candidate filing begins. This bill allows supervisors to correct checklists on any day of the week, giving them greater flexibility. It directly affects town meeting and election supervisors who manage voter eligibility records. The change applies to town meetings and elections governed by New Hampshire law.
