Secretary of State Reminds Granite Staters of Recent Change in Voter Registration Requirements Ahead of Local Elections

As of November 11, 2024, individuals can no longer use affidavits as an alternative means of proving their qualifications when registering to vote.

CONCORD, NH (February 14, 2025): New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan reminds Granite Staters ahead of March local elections that there are new requirements in place for voter registration following the passage of HB 1569, which took effect in November 2024.

In New Hampshire, individuals must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years old by the date of the election, and have their primary residence in New Hampshire to register to vote. The law no longer authorizes an applicant to complete affidavits as an alternative means of proving their qualifications as a voter. If an applicant does not provide acceptable documentary proof of identity, age, United States citizenship, and/or domicile, they are not eligible to be registered to vote.

To register to vote in New Hampshire, individuals can register at their local clerk’s office, at a local supervisor of the checklist meeting, at the polls on election day, or, if they qualify to use the absentee process, by absentee. When registering, individuals will need to prove they are qualified. The proof documents listed below are the most commonly used forms of proof, but the lists are not exhaustive:

Proof of identity and age – driver’s license, or government-issued photo identification, or passport/passcard.

Proof of citizenship – birth certificate, or United States passport, or naturalization documents, or other proof of citizenship issued by the United States Department of State, or other reasonable documentation which indicates the applicant is a United States citizen.

Proof of domicile – driver’s license, or resident vehicle registration, or government-issued ID with the current domicile address listed. If an applicant attests that they do not possess any of these, they can use a rental/lease agreement, or utility or other bill with the current domicile, or the Confirmation of Domicile Form (blank form provided by local election officials which must also be signed by a person owning, leasing, or renting the domicile property).

A full list of acceptable documents individuals can use when registering to vote can be found in the Secretary of State’s “Registering to Vote in NH” document, which is posted on www.sos.nh.gov.

Registered voters must prove their identity at the polls on election day to receive a ballot. Most do so by showing a qualified photo ID such as a driver’s license or non-driver ID.

For questions about who is running in local elections, registration deadlines and election dates, and other related questions, voters should reach out to their local clerks. Voters can use the Secretary of State’s Voter Information Lookup at app.sos.nh.gov to find their clerk’s contact information.

Registering to Vote

You may register to vote any time during regular business hours at the Town Clerk’s office. You may also register to vote at any scheduled Supervisor of the Checklist meeting, and NH also has same day voter registration at the polls.

To be eligible to register and vote in New Hampshire a person must be:

18 years of age or older on the day of the next election
A United States Citizen; and
Domiciled in the town or ward where you seek to vote.

To register, you will need to provide documents that prove your identity, age, and citizenship.

A driver’s license or non-driver ID from any state satisfies proof of identity and age.
A birth certificate, U.S. Passport/Pass card, and/or naturalization documents satisfies citizenship.

You will also need to provide documentation to prove that you are domiciled in the place where you intend to vote. There are many types of documents that will satisfy this requirement. A few examples are listed below:

A New Hampshire driver’s license or non-driver ID showing your current address.
A rental agreement, lease, or similar document that shows your name and the address of your domicile. The document must show that you are domiciled at the address on Election Day.
A document showing that you own the place you are domiciled at, such as a deed, property tax bill, or other similar document that has your name and address.
A New Hampshire motor vehicle registration reflecting the domicile.
A voter photo ID issued by the NH Division of Motor Vehicles at no cost to you. To obtain a photo ID card, that can only be used for voting purposes, ask your town or city clerk or the Secretary of State’s office for a voucher and present it to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Information on the documents you will need to present to the DMV is available here: https://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/dmv/forms/documents/identification-residency-uscitizen-non-compliant.pdf
Any state or federal tax form, other government form, or government issued identification that shows your name and your domicile address.
A public utility bill, such as such as an electric, telephone, water, gas, or other utility bill, with your name and address on it.
A note from the person who owns, leases, rents, or manages/supervises the property where you are domiciled, confirming that you live there, which could include a family member or roommate. Any document containing the information is sufficient provided that it includes the statement that “providing false information is a violation of New Hampshire law under penalty of voting fraud.”
You may also use any other document that shows some action you have taken to carry out your intent to make the place you claim your voting domicile.

If you do not have any of these, you can also sign a domicile attestation under oath, in front of an election official.

Please note: The Supervisors of the Checklist meet prior to all Elections for new voters, change of party, etc. Their hours are posted in the local paper, Town Hall, and on the town website. Same day voter registration can also be completed at the polls on the day of the election. To see more information about the supervisors of the checklist, please visit: Supervisors of the Checklist | Windham, NH (windhamnh.gov). To find out when and where their meetings will be held, please visit their webpage.

Changing your address

It is required that if you move within Town, you must change your address on the voter checklist. You must come into the Town Clerk’s office during regular business hours to do so. You will be required to fill out a form and prove domicile at the new location. You may also change your address at any scheduled Supervisor of the Checklist meeting.

Change of name

If a voter’s name has changed, due to marriage, divorce, or a legal name change, this change must be done in person at our office. Please bring with you the proof of the name change, i.e. certified marriage certificate, certified court order. You may also change your name at any scheduled Supervisor of the Checklist meeting.

Citizen's Petitions for the Annual Town Election

A citizen petition is a way for a resident to put something on the Town Meeting Warrant if it is not addressed through the budget, i.e., paving roads, installing streetlights, etc. Citizen petitions require 25 signatures of registered Windham voters per RSA 39:3. Petitions are due on the second (2nd) Tuesday in January in accordance with RSA 40:13. The RSA also states that the Selectmen shall insert the petitioned article with only such minor textual changes as may be required. All names will be reviewed by the Town Clerk to verify the signers are registered voters. We cannot write the petition for you, and it is your responsibility to determine the costs, if any, associated with your petition.

Petitioned articles must be submitted to the Board of Selectmen/Town Clerk's Department prior to the deadline to be considered for the Annual Town Election.

Absentee Voter Registration

If you meet the state’s requirements and qualifications and are unable to register in person because of disability, religious beliefs, military service, or because of a temporary absence, you may register by mail, when an Election is approaching. Contact townclerk@windhamnh.gov to request an absentee voter registration packet to be mailed to you. This packet includes an affidavit, voter registration form, and other important documents that you must read and complete in its entirety. The absentee voter registration affidavit must be witnessed by another individual, and the absentee ballot request must be completed in full and mailed back to the office, along with any supporting documents and completed ballot (if applicable).
