This bill mandates the inclusion of a new column in the election checklist to document instances where voters present a non-New Hampshire issued form of photo identification. Specifically, the bill amends RSA 654:25 to require that supervisors of the checklist annotate the type of identification provided, including the state or other form of identification. This addition aims to enhance the tracking of voter identification and ensure compliance with voting regulations.

The bill does not allocate any funding or authorize new positions, and its fiscal impact remains indeterminable as the Department of State has indicated that further clarification is needed regarding the details to be captured in the new checklist column. Consequently, potential system changes may be required, but the exact costs associated with these changes are not currently known. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
