Last year, the New Hampshire legislature passed SB221 amending RSA 654:39, requiring that the voter rolls be verified annually. This verification requires that the City Clerk’s Office and the Board of Registrars review the voter checklist and send a notice to any voters who
- have not voted in any election in the past 5 years AND
- registered to vote prior to the 2024 State General Election.
Any voter who registered to vote after the 2024 State General Election but has not yet voted in an election will not receive a notice and will not be removed from the checklist as a part of the annual verification process.
On June 2, 2026 the Board of Registrars will meet to approve the list of voters who match the specifications and approve the mailing of notices to those voters. Following the approval of the list, postcards notifying voters who match the specifications will be mailed out. Voters who receive these notices, must come to the Office of the City Clerk during regular business hours on or before August 28, 2026 to reregister to vote and must present proof of identity and domicile at the time of reregistration. Voters who received a notice and do not reregister within that timeframe will be removed from the voter checklist.
All voters are encouraged to review their voter registration by using the Secretary of State’s Office’s Voter Information Lookup Tool.
For any questions, please contact the City Clerk’s Office at (603) 624-6455 or at elections@manchesternh.gov.
