Bill > SB113

This bill authorizes cities and towns in New Hampshire to conduct a trial of electronic poll book devices for voter registration and check-in during elections. The trial must comply with all relevant statutes and provide the same information to the statewide voter registration database as the manual process. The bill waives certain requirements related to manual entries on paper checklists to accommodate the electronic poll books, while ensuring voter data remains confidential. Cities and towns must assume all costs associated with the electronic poll books, which must be certified by the Secretary of State. Within one month of the initial use, the city or town must submit a report to the Secretary of State detailing the program's outcomes. The bill also includes a provision to repeal the section on electronic poll books effective January 1, 2027.
