Absentee Ballots
Expanded absentee voting eligibility helped propel New Hampshire to a new voter turnout record in 2020, however that expansion is no longer in place.
In this election, you must have one of these approved reasons:
-
absent on the day of any state election from the county, city, or town in which you are registered to vote.
-
unable to appear in public on Election Day because of your observance of a religious commitment.
-
unable to vote in person by reason of physical disability.
-
unable to vote in person by reason of military service.
-
unable to appear during polling hours because employment (including (un)/paid child or adult care) requires you at work, or to be in transit.
