Episode Details

New Hampshire’s September 8 primary just got stricter: to get an absentee ballot, voters now must prove their identity—by showing ID in person, mailing a copy, or getting their signature notarized. While the need for a valid reason to vote absentee remains unchanged, this new ID requirement, part of Senate Bill 287, aims to boost election security but has sparked concern among advocates for voters with disabilities. The Secretary of State urges early requests by August 25 and recommends mailing ballots at least a week before Election Day to ensure they’re received by 5 PM on September 8. Despite ongoing legal challenges, these specific ID rules are moving forward for this primary.
