This bill amends the current law regarding the verification of voter rolls by changing the frequency of verification from every ten years to an annual requirement. Specifically, it modifies RSA 654:39 to mandate that supervisors verify the checklist annually, starting in 2026, instead of the previous ten-year cycle. The bill also updates the timeline for posting notices and conducting verification sessions, ensuring that these activities occur annually rather than in a decade-long interval.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions that allow individuals who have voted in any election within the last five years or have been added to the checklist since the last state general election to be considered reregistered without needing to appear before the supervisors. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the integrity and accuracy of voter rolls through more frequent verification processes.
