Voter Registration Information - Who Can Register

In New Hampshire residents, who will be 18 years of age on Election Day, and a United States citizen, may register. New Hampshire does not have a length of residency requirement, but you can claim only one place as your residence for voting purposes.

Each of the four ways to register to vote requires proof of age, citizenship, and domicile, by document or affidavit.
 

• You may register to vote at the Town Clerk's office up to 10 days before any election. - The town clerk's office is in the Town Hall at 4 Main Street, New Durham. You will be required to fill out a standard voter registration form and will be asked to show proof of ID, age, citizenship and domicile. The town clerk's hours are Monday-Thursday: 8:00am-4:00pm. Last Thursday of the month 8:00am-6:30pm (if the last thursday is a holiday it will be the thursday prior) 
   
• You may also register to vote with your local Supervisors of the Checklist. They are required to meet at designated times to accept registrations and changes in party affiliation. - These times are posted in the New Durham Post Office, in the Town Hall and on the Town Website. Also, the Supervisors of the Checklist will hold session for additions and corrections of the checklist.
   
• You may also register to vote on the day of any election, at the polling place. - Be aware this will take extra time.
   
• You may register absentee, by mail. - If you are unable to register in person because of physical disability, religious beliefs, military service, or because of temporary absence, you may register by mail. You should request an absentee voter registration affidavit and a standard voter registration form from your town clerk. The absentee voter registration affidavit must be witnessed and then both the affidavit and the voter registration form are to be returned to your town clerk. Allow enough time for this.
