The proposed changes to RSA 659:13, I(c) may disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as renters or those without traditional proof of domicile like utility bills or leases. Referring voters to the supervisor of the checklist for qualification verification could lead to inconsistent decisions and potential disenfranchisement.

It’s crucial to ensure the voting process remains accessible and fair for all eligible voters.
