This bill amends the verification process for voter checklists by changing the frequency of verification from every 10 years to every 4 years, specifically in the year following a Presidential election. The current law, as stated in RSA 654:39, is modified to reflect this change, with the deletion of "10" and the insertion of "4" in multiple sections. Additionally, the bill specifies that the verification will occur in 2026 and every 4 years thereafter, rather than the previous schedule which included a reference to the year 1981.

The bill also outlines the procedures for posting notices and conducting verification sessions, ensuring that eligible voters have the opportunity to register or reregister. It includes provisions for striking names from the checklist for those who have not registered or reregistered, while also protecting the rights of qualified voters by requiring prior notice. Furthermore, it establishes criteria for individuals to be deemed reregistered without needing to appear before the supervisors, such as having voted in elections within the last 6 years. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
