Bill > HB269

This bill modifies the existing law regarding voter checklist corrections by removing the specific requirement for a Saturday session of the supervisors of the checklist before an election. Instead, the bill allows for checklist corrections during a session as provided in RSA 654:27 (which likely specifies the timing and process for checklist review). The key changes include eliminating the explicit reference to a Saturday session and allowing additions or corrections to the voter checklist up to a specified point before the election. The bill maintains the existing requirement that the supervisors of the checklist must hear applications for corrections and ensure the checklist contains only the names of qualified voters. Any additions or corrections must still be completed by midnight on the Friday following the session, and the town or city clerk must be notified of these changes. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing local election officials with time to adjust to the modified procedural requirements.
