WHO CAN REGISTER

New Hampshire residents who will be 18 years of age or older on election day, and a United States citizen, may register with the town or city clerk where they live up to 10 days before any election. You may also register on election day at the polling place. The town clerk's office can inform voters of what proof of qualification they should bring to register.

HOW TO REGISTER

1. Apply to your town or city clerk's office. You will be required to fill out a standard voter registration form and will be required to show proof of age, citizenship and domicile.

2. It may be easier for you to register with your community's Supervisors of the Checklist. By law they are required to meet on the Saturday 10 days prior to each election. Check the local newspaper(s) or call your clerk's office for the date and time of such meeting.

3. Qualified indivduals may also register to vote at the polling place on election day at all elections. You will be asked to show proof of age, citizenship and domicile.
