New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has called on the New Hampshire Supreme Court to review House Bill 1264 before he decides to approve or veto the bill. On May 10, New Hampshire General Court passed HB 1264, which modifies the definitions of “resident” and “residency” and has drawn concern that the language will restrict out-of-state students’ abilities to vote. Sununu has stated that he does not support the bill in its current form. “I remain concerned about the bill’s constitutionality, and as such, I am asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on this issue to put this matter to rest once and for all,” he stated in a May 15 press release from his office. According to Hanover director of administrative services and town clerk Betsy McClain, students in New Hampshire can currently vote in the state without taking on the full responsibilities of residency, but this bill would likely change that status quo.
