This bill amends RSA 654:25 to require the election checklist to include a new column for supervisors to annotate instances where a voter presents a non-New Hampshire issued form of photo identification. The specific details to be recorded include the type of identification provided, whether it is from another state or another form altogether. This addition aims to enhance the tracking of identification used during voting and ensure compliance with identification requirements.

The bill does not allocate any funding or authorize new positions, and its fiscal impact is currently indeterminable. The Department of State has indicated that ballot clerks, rather than supervisors, typically mark the checklist, and they will need further clarification on the details to be captured in the new column. As a result, the potential costs associated with implementing this change remain uncertain, pending additional legislative guidance.
