New Hampshire proposes constitutional amendments to establish strict ballot reconciliation procedures.

The bill proposes constitutional amendments to New Hampshire's election process, including hand counting all ballots, serial numbering them, and retaining them for sixty months. It mandates that all ballots be stored in secure, electronically surveilled areas and that moderators complete a chain of custody log. Polling locations are limited to 5,000 lawful voters, and lawful voters are chosen at random to be poll workers. The bill also requires random audits of at least two municipalities per county post-election and allows for citizen audits.
