Bill > HB289

This bill clarifies domicile qualifications for voting in New Hampshire by stating that a person cannot claim domicile if they are a legal dependent living with someone outside of the state, and it also establishes that obtaining a driver's license or registering a motor vehicle in New Hampshire demonstrates an intent to maintain continuous presence in the state for voting purposes. The bill amends existing law (RSA 654:1) which defines domicile as the one place where a person has established a physical presence and intends to maintain a continuous presence for domestic, social, and civil reasons relevant to democratic participation. Additionally, it adds a provision for students attending institutions of learning, allowing them to claim domicile if their claim meets existing requirements and the residency rules of the university system.
