The Short Version

This constitutional amendment would change NH voting eligibility to require that voters not only be legal residents aged 18+ but also actually reside at their claimed domicile. The bill codifies an existing constitutional requirement of domicile residency into explicit constitutional language, with minimal practical change since current law already requires domicile-based voting.

Who's Behind This Bill?

Who Benefits

  • ▲ Voters whose eligibility status aligns with domicile residency requirements (the current electorate)

Who Pays the Price

  • ▼ Potentially college students, temporary residents, or others claiming non-domicile addresses if enforcement of actual residence requirements becomes stricter than current practice
