HB1062

Authorizing the secretary of state to conduct random audits of the citizenship qualification of registered voters.

Chamber Passed·3/17/26

New Hampshire HB1062 allows the secretary of state to randomly audit the citizenship of registered voters.

New Hampshire HB1062 amends the state's Revised Statutes to authorize the secretary of state to conduct random audits of the citizenship qualifications of registered voters. These audits can utilize both governmental and private databases to confirm citizenship. If a voter's citizenship is confirmed, it is noted in the statewide voter registration database, and the voter is exempt from further audits. Any information suggesting potential non-citizenship is to be submitted to the attorney general for further review and action. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
