Urge Legislators to Protect Right to Vote in NH

Dear [Your Elected Official],

This past Tuesday, the NH Campaign for Voting Rights saw 106 voters turned away at the polls. Note that those were only the observed cases, in a local election with lower turnout. Imagine how many more could be prevented from voting in a larger election, like the 2026 midterms.
Strict voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements don’t prevent voter fraud, which is extremely rare, but they do create unnecessary bureaucratic barriers that stop eligible Granite Staters from casting their ballots. New Hampshire is already one of the most difficult states in the nation to vote in, and adding more obstacles will only harm our democracy.
Band-aid attempts to mitigate the effects of HB 1569 still leave wide gaps for voters to easily fall through the cracks. Take HB 464, for example. This allows for voters previously registered in NH to only have to reprove domicile and identity: but what if there aren't as many election officials with access to the Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS) as there are wards in a town or city to be able to do so efficiently, especially on hectic election days? 
It’s critical that legislators act to ensure all eligible voters can participate fully and fairly in our elections. If you've been a supporter of unnecessary laws in the past such as HB 1569 or SB 287, I strongly urge you to reconsider, and instead work to make the voting system more accessible for all during the 2026 session.

Respectfully,

[Your Name]

Summary

A huge thank you to everyone who voted in Tuesday's city elections! Local democracy depends on you showing up, and your engagement makes a real difference. Unfortunately, this week also showed how fragile access to the ballot still is: the New Hampshire Campaign for Voting Rights tracked at least 100 voters who were turned away from the polls due to lack of documentary proof of citizenship or other ID now required by HB 1569. This is completely unjust, and we must sound the alarm. 🚨 As we reflect on the shocking number of voters turned away on Tuesday, it's important to remember that these were only the observed cases, in a local election with lower turnout. Just imagine how many more voters could be disenfranchised in a larger election like the upcoming 2026 midterms. Both the House and Senate Election Law committees will be voting on a new slate of bills in January, and it's critical that legislators understand the real impact that these policies have on Granite Staters. NH is already one of the most difficult state's in the nation to cast a vote in—they don't need to make it even more so.
