This bill amends the voting procedure by prohibiting a supervisor of the checklist from verifying a voter's identity without the presentation of valid identification, even if the supervisor personally knows the voter. The current law, specifically RSA 659:13, I(c), is repealed and reenacted to include new provisions that require a ballot clerk to direct voters without valid photo identification to the supervisor of the checklist. The bill emphasizes that moderators, clerks, or supervisors must not verify a voter's identity without the required identification.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for the supervisor of the checklist in determining a voter's qualifications and identity. If the supervisor confirms the voter's qualifications and identity, the voter is allowed to vote; if not, the voter is denied the right to vote but has the option to appeal the decision to the superior court. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
