HB 1149 is a bill that makes changes to voter registration requirements in New Hampshire. The bill removes the requirement for voters to present certain qualified documents when registering to vote more than 30 days before an election. Instead, voters can provide any reasonable documentation that indicates they have established a physical presence at the place they claim as their domicile and have an intent to make that place their domicile. The bill also allows voters to provide a written statement from a person who is listed as the owner, property manager, or tenant on a document that proves domicile, if the voter's name is not listed on the document.

Additionally, the bill removes the requirement for voters to present qualified documents or reasonable documentation when registering to vote within 30 days before an election or on election day. Instead, voters can provide a sworn statement on the voter registration form or an affidavit. The bill includes a sample domicile affidavit that voters can use to declare their domicile. The bill also outlines the penalties for voter fraud and the process for verifying a voter's domicile.
