The State of New Hampshire does not utilize on-line voter registration. Therefore, we do not have any governmental records in our possession that are responsive to your request for information regarding our on-line voter registration system.

In New Hampshire an applicant for voter registration must present the application in-person or under limited circumstances can register absentee, by US Mail.
