Bill > HB1462

This bill requires the New Hampshire Department of Justice to create a standardized election law complaint form that allows individuals to file complaints alleging a voter has wrongfully voted by improperly claiming domicile (legal residence) in the state. The form will be available at the Department of Justice and Secretary of State's office, and potentially online. Once a completed form is received, the Attorney General may investigate the complaint, with specific limitations on the type of information that can be gathered. During the investigation, the Attorney General can inquire about the voter's voting history in other states, their use of a New Hampshire rental property, potential false information provided during voter registration, and civic activities. However, the bill strictly prohibits investigating personal details such as home size, medical care locations, utility bills, tax jurisdictions, or personal relationships. The Department of Justice is authorized to create rules governing the complaint form's format and processing procedures, and the bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
