Today, August 6: It has been 61 years since President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law on August 6. Sixty-one years of making voting accessible to everyone. Sixty-one years of increasing representation in government.

To register to vote in NH, you need to be a U.S. citizen. You can prove you are a U.S. citizen with documentary proof, prior voter registration in NH, by asking your local election official to search NH Vital Records or DMV info, or, if you do not possess the documents necessary to prove citizenship, you can sign a qualified voter affidavit, subject to the penalties for voter fraud.
