I know someone who changed their address in NH and went to register to vote. Her husband was able to register. The clerk's office didn't know how to go forward since her name on her birth certificate is not the same as her ID. She was told she would be contacted by mail. She was never contacted and was unable to vote in the last 2 elections. There were over 200 people who haven't been able to vote since the change to our voting laws. That number is anecdotal because we didn't actively track how many were turned away. The Secretary of State has failed to run a comprehensive voter education program. If you go to the website (https://www.sos.nh.gov/elections/register-vote) for information on how to register there is no information about how to register if your name on your birth certificate doesn't match you ID. This effects people who changed their surname when they marry, people who were adopted late in life who might have 2 birth certificates with birth parents name and identification is adoptive parents name and transgender citizens.
