This bill mandates that the address column be the first column on the voter checklist, amending RSA 654:25. The new legal language specifies that the initial column on the checklist shall be the address of the voter and that it must be alphabetized by street name. This change aims to enhance the organization and accessibility of voter information on the checklist.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding the information required on the checklist, including the full name, domicile address, mailing address, and party affiliation of each voter. It also preserves the option for voters to request that their name and address not appear on the public checklist if they present a valid protective order, with their information being kept on a separate nonpublic list. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
