Bill > HB1106

This bill requires candidates for public office in New Hampshire to publicly disclose detailed information about their citizenship status beyond the existing requirement of being a U.S. citizen by birth or naturalization. Specifically, candidates must declare to the secretary of state, under oath, whether any other states or nations consider them to be a citizen. If the candidate has additional citizenship, they must provide a short explanation including the basis for that citizenship, the date it was acquired (if known), and any other relevant facts. The bill amends the existing state law governing candidate qualifications and will take effect 60 days after passage. This additional disclosure requirement aims to provide voters with more comprehensive information about a candidate's potential international citizenship affiliations, potentially allowing for greater transparency in the electoral process.
