New Hampshire HB1223 grants moderators the authority to verify vote counts during elections by hand.

New Hampshire HB1223 amends RSA 659 to allow moderators to perform a hand count of votes in any election race to verify accuracy. If the hand count differs from the machine count, the hand count total will prevail. Moderators must report this to the city or town clerk, detailing the machine and hand count totals, the machine-count result, the hand-count result, and the difference for affected candidates. The city or town clerk must post copies of the election return forms within 7 days of an election. This act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
