  • New Hampshire has same-day voter registration, so you can REGISTER AT YOUR POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY! To be eligible to vote in New Hampshire, you need to prove your identity, age, citizenship and domicile (physical address). You can sign affidavits to prove most of these qualifications if you lack documentation.

    Note: you must provide a photo ID if you register to vote for the first time in NH on election day. If you forget or don’t have an ID when you register, you can cast a ballot but will need to provide documentation within 7 days of the election proving your identity for your vote to be counted in the final results.

    Find your polling location HERE.

  • Check your voter registration status HERE, and be sure you’re registered at your current address. If needed, you can update your address with your clerk or at the polling location on election day. If you’re updating your address at the polling location find your current location here.

    Here are the requirements:

    • You must be a US citizen

    • You must be 18 years or older on or before E-day
