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 absentee voter applicant lists be supplied electronically in a sortable format from the statewide centralized voter registration database. Additionally, it stipulates that if an electronic copy exists, it must be provided at no charge in accordance with RSA 91-A.

The bill also updates the information included in the statewide absentee voter list. It adds "voter address" to the details available for candidates and political parties, which now include voter name, voter ID number, voter's party, and various dates related to the absentee ballot process. The language that has been deleted pertains to the previous format and limitations on the information provided. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
