I think this bill will make for a more informed public.

Sharon RacusinSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

Municipalities should post a copy of election return forms on their websites and in public locations.

Regina ConradSupportLyndeborough, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

I vote in local elections with an absentee ballot. The application is done on line. A photo of my photo ID is an unnecessary.

Nancy MilesSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

Election returns must be easily available - please support this bill.

Leane GarlandSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

Makes sense to ensure voters/citizens know the outcome of elections in the most convenient and transparent way possible. Please vote OTP. Thank you!

I am female, have always been female, and my greatest joy throughout my school years was participating in sports. My three daughters (also born female) all participated in school sports. It's absurd and insulting that this type of bill is presented as protection for girls. We don't want this type of "protection". The opportunity to participate in sports should not be denied to anyone. The percentage of girls that are trans and wish to participate in sports is so low that this is simply a non-issue. The impact on girls sports is negligible and the impact on the general public is basically non-existent. There are plenty of issues right now in need of your attention that have the potential for devastating consequences for a large portion of our population. Please stop this witch hunt.

Voting is a right

Maura BatesSupportEnfield, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

I support this bill because it increases voting transparency.

Debora HatcherSupportDover, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

I am an independent voter in Dover. I am worried about the erosion of voting rights in NH. I support this bill because requiring municipalities to post a copy of election return forms on their websites and in public locations will make information more easily available to citizens. I urge you to vote in favor of this bill.

kristen petricolaSupportkeene, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

This is practical bill.

Cynthia Bliss-HayfordSupportWinchester, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

I am asking representatives to. Pass this bill. It is crucial that we have plentiful polling places.

Elizabeth BlackSupportConcord, NHfor MyselfApr 22, 2025

This legislation would encourage helpful, greater transparency by municipalities regarding voting.
