This bill mandates the secretary of state to periodically review and 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 certain protections for voters under valid protective orders.

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 checklist used on election day need not include mailing addresses. Furthermore, it establishes a protocol for handling the information of voters who have requested confidentiality due to protective orders, ensuring that their details are kept on a separate, nonpublic list. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
