Determining Qualifications of Voting Applicants
When determining the qualifications of an applicant, the Supervisors of the Checklist shall require the applicant to present proof of identity, citizenship, age, and domicile. (RSA 654:12)
Identity: A driver’s license or non-driver ID from any state satisfies proof of identity and age.
Citizenship: The following will be accepted as proof of Citizenship: birth certificate, a passport, and naturalization papers if the applicant is a naturalized citizen, or any other reasonable documentation which indicates the applicant is a U.S. citizen. Note: A New Hampshire Real ID compliant driver's license is NOT proof of U.S. Citizenship. If documentation is not available, a Qualified Affidavit will be completed and sworn to in the presence of an authorized election official.
Age: Any reasonable documentation indicating the applicant is 18 years of age or older. If documentation is not available, a Qualified Affidavit will be completed and sworn to in the presence of an authorized election official.
Domocile: Any one of the following documents can be submitted as presumptive evidence that the applicant meets the domicile requirement: New Hampshire driver’s license, New Hampshire vehicle registration, Armed services ID or other photo ID issued by the U.S. government, a utility bill with current address.
