Complete·7/16/26

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

New Hampshire HB1062 amends RSA 654 to authorize the secretary of state to conduct random audits of the citizenship qualifications of registered voters. The secretary may use governmental and private databases to confirm citizenship of voters who submitted a qualified voter affidavit. Confirmed citizens will be noted in the statewide voter registration database and will not be subject to further audits. If potential non-citizens are found, the information will be submitted to the attorney general for review and action. This act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
