HB 1462 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to election law complaints.

HB 1462 creates a standardized complaint form for alleging that voters wrongfully claimed New Hampshire domicile to vote. The Department of Justice must provide this form (available online, at their office, or the Secretary of State's office) and investigate only complaints filed using it. Investigators may ask specific questions about voting history, domicile changes, or false information at registration, but are strictly prohibited from inquiring about unrelated private matters like medical care, utility bills, or family relationships. This procedural bill establishes clear limits on election complaint investigations without changing voter eligibility or voting rules.
