You can register to vote in local, state, and federal elections in New Hampshire if you are:

To register to vote, you will be required to complete a Voter Registration Form provided by the Clerk's office or supervisor of the checklist. You will also need to provide proof of your identity, age, U.S. citizenship and domicile (primary residence address). For information on requirements and acceptable documents, see the NH Secretary of State's voter webpage.
