HB 341 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

requiring the secretary of state to check voter records prior to every election.

HB 341 requires New Hampshire's Secretary of State to verify voter addresses with the U.S. Postal Service at least 90 days before all town, municipal, general, and primary elections. This would identify voters who may have moved, with the updated records sent to local election officials for final verification under existing rules. The bill directly affects the Secretary of State's office (which must conduct the checks) and local election supervisors (who verify addresses). It has a minimal fiscal impact, costing less than $10,000 annually through 2028, as noted in the bill's fiscal analysis.
