The New Hampshire Senate on March 18 rejected a bill that would have made permanent the temporary no-excuse absentee voting put in place last year due to the CCP virus pandemic.
New Hampshire relaxed the rules around absentee voting last year, first through guidance from the state’s attorney general and secretary of state and subsequently through legislation. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, signed off on the temporary measure after he had vetoed a similar bill that would have made no-excuse absentee voting permanent.
