Bill > HB317

This bill amends the voting procedures in New Hampshire by requiring that a supervisor of the checklist, or any election official like a moderator or clerk, must verify a voter's identity through proper identification, even if they personally know the voter. Previously, an election official might have been able to vouch for a voter they knew without requiring identification. Now, if a voter doesn't have the required photo identification, they will be directed to the supervisor of the checklist, who will then review the voter's qualifications and establish their identity. If the supervisor cannot verify the voter's identity through the required means, that person will not be allowed to vote, though they can appeal this decision to the superior court. This change aims to standardize the identification process for all voters.
