HB1437

HB1437 proposes constitutional amendments to New Hampshire's election processes, including ballot reconciliation, retention, and transparency.

HB1437 proposes significant changes to New Hampshire's election procedures through constitutional amendments. Key provisions include the requirement for all ballots to be hand-counted, serial-numbered, and accompanied by a matching perforated tab. Ballots must be reconciled by moderators before and after elections, and retained for 60 months. The Secretary of State is tasked with providing serial-numbered ballots and tracking absentee and paper ballots. Polling locations are limited to 5,000 voters, and poll workers are chosen randomly from registered voters.
