HB1325 enables checklist supervisor corrections any day
Summary
New Hampshire House Bill 1325 has passed, enabling voter checklist supervisors to make corrections on any day of the week rather than limited business days. The bill was sponsored by Representatives Kuttab, Kelley, Wherry, and Senator Ricciardi, passing both chambers during the 2026 Regular Session.
What changed
HB1325 modifies New Hampshire election administration procedures by allowing checklist supervisors to correct voter rolls on any day of the week. Previously, such corrections may have been restricted to specific days or business hours under RSA Chapter 654. The bill passed the House with unanimous committee support (17-0) and the Senate committee recommended ought to pass (5-0).\n\nFor local election officials and checklist supervisors, this change provides greater scheduling flexibility when performing routine voter list maintenance. The bill does not impose new compliance requirements or penalties but rather removes procedural restrictions on when corrections may be made.
What to do next
- Monitor for implementation by local election officials
- Review updated election procedures
