HB289 is a voter suppression bill aimed at limiting student voting in New Hampshire. It would bar voters from claiming domicile if they are dependents of out-of-state residents, tying voting rights to family residency rather than where the voter actually lives and participates in civic life. This change could strip eligible New Hampshire voters of their right to vote by imposing arbitrary residency requirements. Additionally, the bill lacks a clear way to determine dependency status, creating confusion and potential disenfranchisement.
