HB1600

motor voter is the best way to ensure that the largest number of citizens are able to vote.

I’m pleased to see this bipartisan support for easy availability to register to vote.

As a legally blind person who has had to use a somewhat inaccessible system to obtain an absentee ballot, I am extremely in favor of this effort. Online portals help people access information much more easily than paper forms that are not accessible to the print disabled. Given the multiple decades of success with the One for All system in both its implementation as well as its security, I know whichever portal the Secretary of State adopts will be both secure and accessible.

Rape kits provide essential evidence, which must be properly handled and preserved in order for victims to have access to to everything which brings them the best chance for justice, and healing.

HB 1600 offers New Hampshire voters a simple, common-sense option to register to vote when they interact at the DMV. This approach meets voters where they already are and reduces unnecessary barriers to participation. Voter registration at the DMV has been standard practice in 44 states since 1993, and it has proven effective and secure. HB 1600 allows New Hampshire to modernize its process in a safe and smart way, I urge the committee to support HB 1600.

Voting by every qualified citizen is something to be encouraged. This bill makes it easier for citizens with proper identification to register to vote.

I believe we should make voting easier, not harder. Many states do this and it makes good sense, making it easier for citizens to vote and have their voices heard.

Again, I ask, Why wouldn't you want to make it easier for residents to register to vote? So many other states do this. Very convenient. Why is it so hard for NH to support its residents?

What a great way to make it easier to register to vote!

Our systems for registering to vote, and monitoring who should be eligible to vote are outdated. HB 1600 and HB 1678 would save time, reduce errors, and ease pressure on Election Day. People are already going to the DMV to get their licenses or IDs and need to provide the same exact identification. Providing voters with a secure, modern option to register on their own schedule makes life easier for voters and election officials.

HB 1600 offers eligible registrants a convenient option for registering to vote. We should be encouraging qualified NH citizens to vote by removing unnecessary barriers - greater participation strengthens our democracay. Please vote OTP on HB 1600.

Let’s encourage citizens to exercise their right to vote by making it easier and more convenient to vote.

Dear Legislators, I strongly support HB 1600 as it will streamline the registration process for voters by allowing another opportunity and place to register to vote. Our current election workers are often forced to turn away voters as they do not have the documentation needed to register on election day. (most of these voters are able to return with proper paperwork, but not all voters return.) Please help both election workers, town clerks and voters and support this bill! Ellen Farnum, Tamworth NH

I oppose the bill and the amendment.

We want to encourage voter registration early, when there is still time to track down the appropriate documentation.

HB 1600 modernizes voter registration and makes elections work better for everyone. Granite Staters should be able to register to vote when they update their ID at the DMV. HB 1600 is a bipartisan modernization step that saves time and reduces errors.” Registering to vote should be as easy as updating your license.

It makes sense to continue to make registration for voting easy and accessible. People can save time and it's been shown to increase voter registration, something we should always champion in a democracy.

This would modernize voter registration and make it easier for working citizens to register rather than have to go in person during hours that in many small towns are quite limited. This would be a safe, secure system that would avoid the long lines that many face in trying to register, and make it easier for citizens to exercise their constitutional right.

Voters should have the opportunity to register to vote at the same time they register their vechicle

As an election clerk, I believe that we must make it easier for all legitimate citizens to vote.

This bill would help assure that every New Hampshire student can have access to high quality free public education. Please support it.

I support any safe and secure means to make voting registration easier for more people. Letting people do so from the motor vehicle department will help.

We need to insure that our elections are accessible and fair. NH already has the most restrictive election laws in the country. Don’t make it worse.
