This bill mandates that electronic voter checklists be provided in a sortable format, enhancing accessibility and usability for candidates and political parties seeking absentee voter information. Specifically, it amends RSA 657:15, II - III-a to require that candidates and authorized individuals can obtain lists of absentee voter applicants electronically, with the stipulation that these lists must be sortable. The bill also clarifies that if an electronic copy exists, it must be provided at no charge in accordance with RSA 91-A.

Additionally, the bill updates the information included in the statewide absentee voter list. It specifies that the list will now include the voter's address, alongside other details such as the voter's name, ID number, party affiliation, and key dates related to the absentee ballot process. The language also maintains the exclusion of voters with valid protective orders from the lists provided. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of accessing absentee voter information while ensuring the protection of certain voters' privacy.
