This bill mandates that the secretary of state periodically evaluate the forms and procedures related to voter checklist duties. Specifically, it amends RSA 654:25 to include new language that requires the secretary to assess the usability of these forms and procedures, as well as to estimate the resources and time needed for their completion. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining accurate and updated voter information, which includes full name, domicile address, mailing address, and party affiliation, while also allowing for the protection of certain voters' information under specific circumstances.

In addition to the new insertions, the bill maintains existing requirements for the content of checklists used during elections, ensuring that they contain essential voter information. It also stipulates that any nonpublic lists of voters, created at the request of individuals with valid protective orders, must be kept separate and confidential. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
