relative to electioneering by public employees.

HB 340 prohibits public employees in New Hampshire from campaigning or influencing elections while performing their official duties or using government resources like phones, computers, or vehicles. It defines "electioneering" broadly to include distributing campaign materials, making political statements, or organizing political events during work hours. The bill includes specific exemptions, such as neutral voter registration drives, sharing factual election information (e.g., dates/locations), and displaying campaign materials at public events without favoring any candidate. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors, and the law takes effect January 1, 2026.
