The proposed bill seeks to amend the New Hampshire Constitution by adding a new article, 32-a, which establishes comprehensive provisions and penalties aimed at enhancing ballot reconciliation and election integrity. Key insertions include requirements for all ballots to be hand counted, serial-numbered, and accompanied by a matching perforated tab for voter receipts. The bill mandates that all ballots, including absentee ones, be reconciled by election moderators both before and after elections, and it sets strict guidelines for the storage and tracking of ballots. Additionally, it limits polling locations to a maximum of 5,000 voters and requires that poll workers be randomly selected from the current voter checklist.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in the election process by mandating annual training for election officials and allowing registered voters to view and record ballot documentation during post-election audits. It includes provisions for secure storage of ballots in electronically surveilled facilities and outlines procedures for handling unused or voided ballots. The bill also introduces requirements for moderators and clerks to maintain a chain of custody log for all ballots, which must be signed by two individuals, and mandates that all election day signatures remain unredacted. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters in the November 2026 general election, requiring a two-thirds majority approval for adoption.
