This bill amends RSA 669:5 to allow supervisors of the checklist to hold meetings for correcting the checklist on any day of the week, rather than being restricted to Saturdays, as previously mandated. The specific legal language that is deleted from current law is the requirement that the correction session be held on "Saturday 6 to 13 days prior to the election." The new insertion allows for greater flexibility in scheduling these correction sessions, which is intended to ensure that only qualified voters participate in town meetings and elections.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for supervisors to prepare, post, and revise the checklist in the same manner as for state elections, and it specifies that there will still be a session for correction of the checklist on the day immediately prior to the first day of the filing period for candidates for town office. The act is set to take effect upon its passage, which is approved for May 28, 2026.
