AS HOST OF THE First in the Nation Presidential Primary, New Hampshire has an obligation to ensure our electoral system is beyond reproach. House Bill 1264, which seeks to clearly define the rules surrounding the state’s voting process, has been the subject of vigorous debate for the better part of this year.
After receiving an advisory opinion from the New Hampshire Supreme Court finding the bill to be constitutional, I signed HB 1264 into law this past Friday. New Hampshire will now align with virtually every other state in requiring residency in order to vote.
