New Hampshire HB365 allows indigent voters to obtain vouchers for birth certificates to prove citizenship.
New Hampshire HB365 amends RSA 654:12 to allow indigent voters unable to provide proof of U.S. citizenship to receive vouchers from local election officials to cover the cost of obtaining a certified copy of their birth certificate or equivalent documentation. The Secretary of State will reimburse local municipalities for these vouchers. The act also appropriates $50,000 for this purpose for the biennium ending June 30, 2027. If a person's citizenship is verified, the Secretary of State will notify local election officials, who will mark the voter's registration form accordingly.
