This bill mandates that the Secretary of State enter into a membership agreement with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to facilitate the sharing of voter information from the statewide centralized voter registration database and other relevant state data. The new section, RSA 654:15-a, outlines the responsibilities of the Secretary of State, including ensuring the confidentiality and security of shared data, receiving reports from ERIC to identify duplicate voter registrations, and initiating contact with eligible citizens who are not registered to vote. The agreement must be established by January 31, 2026, and the Secretary of State is tasked with maintaining good standing with ERIC.

The bill also specifies that funding for its implementation will come from federal sources, including grants under the Help America Vote Act of 2002. It does not create new positions but anticipates initial costs of $25,000 and potential annual expenses ranging from $37,000 to $174,000. The fiscal impact related to data security, staffing, and compliance remains uncertain, as does the need for additional general funds to cover potential expenses arising from the bill's requirements.
