HB 158 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to public inspection of absentee ballot lists.

HB 158 would allow the public to inspect lists showing who voted absentee in elections. It directly affects voters and election observers by providing transparency into absentee ballot usage. The bill requires election officials to make these lists available for public review, typically at designated locations or online. This is a procedural change focused on election transparency, not a substantive policy shift. The bill is currently in committee with a majority committee report recommending passage.
