New Hampshire Governor Signs Strict New Voter ID Law

The law mandates proof of citizenship and photo ID for voting, taking effect after the 2024 election.

Governor Chris Sununu signed a bill requiring all New Hampshire voters to present documentation proving their identity and citizenship.
The new law eliminates the previous affidavit system, which allowed voters to sign a document attesting to their qualifications.
Critics argue the law could disenfranchise eligible voters and place significant burdens on election officials.
The law will not affect the upcoming November 2024 election but will be enforced starting November 11, 2024.
Opponents of the legislation are preparing for potential legal challenges, citing similar laws that have been ruled unconstitutional in other states.
