This bill mandates that the secretary of state include voters' ages in the voter information file that is accessible to political parties, political committees, and candidates for office. Specifically, it amends RSA 654:31, IV to require that, upon request, the secretary of state provide a list containing the name, age, domicile address, mailing address, town or city, voter history, and party affiliation of every registered voter in the state. The bill clarifies that "voter history" refers to whether a person voted and, for primary elections, in which party's primary the person voted during the preceding two years.

The bill also outlines the fees associated with obtaining this voter information, which include a base fee of $25 plus an additional charge of $0.50 per thousand names beyond the first 2,500, along with shipping costs. Furthermore, it stipulates that the secretary of state will collect and remit fees to the supervisors of the checklist for each city and town, as if the public checklist had been purchased from them. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
