NH State Court Blocks Part of New Voter Registration Restrictions


Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this psot.

On September 12th, a Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order against Part of the New Hampshire Voter Registration Law passed earlier this year.

New Hampshire Democratic Party v Gardner, Hillsborough Superior Court, 2017-cv-432.

The Order is by Justice Charles Temple, a Member of the State Supreme Court.

The Law says Persons who Register within 30 days of an Election, and who don’t have Documents proving that they are domiciled in New Hampshire when they Register, must Return to the Registration Office within either 10 days or 30 days, depending on whether their Town has Full-Time hours for Voter Registration, or not, with the Proof.

If they don’t Return, they are subject to a Possible $5,000 Fine or even Jail Time.

This Part of the Law is Suspended, pending further Court Activity.
