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 specific days. The current law specifies that the session for correction must be held on Saturdays, 6 to 13 days prior to the election, which is being removed from the statute. The new legal language inserted into the law enables greater flexibility for supervisors to conduct these corrections, thereby ensuring that the checklist is up-to-date and that only qualified voters can participate in town meetings and elections.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for supervisors to prepare, post, and revise the checklist in accordance with state election procedures. It also preserves the provision for a correction session to be held the day before the filing period for candidates for town office, with the possibility of extended hours at the supervisors' discretion. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
