HB 464 (2025)
Prohibit some candidates from participating in ballot counting, create centralized database to verify voter eligibility
This bill became law.
Prohibits candidates that appear on the ballot from participating in counting ballots before the election. The House amended the bill so that it would not apply to candidates for moderator, assistant moderator, clerk, selectperson, inspector of election, and supervisor of the checklist.
The Senate amended the bill to also allow use of a centralized database to verify voter eligibility. The database would include centralized voter registration records, records from the department of safety, and New Hampshire vital records to assist voters in providing proof of citizenship, age, domicile, and identity to the city and town clerks.
The data you see here is pulled daily from official government databases. The bill summary is created by Citizens Count staff. Learn more about our methodology for summarizing and updating bills. Visit the official New Hampshire government website for a deep-dive on this bill.
