Bill > SB16

This bill requires city and town clerks to post copies of election return forms on their websites and in two public locations within 7 days after an election. These locations can include the municipality's main website and social media accounts where the governing body typically posts notices. Election return forms are official documents that detail the results of an election, submitted to the secretary of state. By mandating this public posting, the bill aims to increase transparency in the electoral process, allowing citizens to easily access and review official election results. The new requirement will be added to existing state law (RSA 659:73) and will go into effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving municipalities time to prepare for the new reporting requirement.
