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.
