Supervisors of the Checklist Begin Annual Voter Checklist Verification May 14

The Supervisors of the Checklist will begin the annual verification of the voter checklist during its Thursday, May 14, 2026, meeting.

During the session, the supervisors will identify registered voters who have not cast a ballot in five years. These voters will mailed a letter informing them of their removal from the checklist and that they will need to reregister before voting. Voters can re-register at the City Clerk’s office during regular business hours, Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Voters may also register at the polls on election day. The next election is the state primary on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026. 

Any voter who has voted at least once in the last five years, or who has registered to vote since the 2024 general election will remain on the checklist and do not need to take any action.

Active voters can review their voter registration information through the state’s secretary of state’s voter information lookup portal, app.sos.nh.gov.

Beginning this year, voter checklists are to be verified annually following a change in state law. Verification was previously required every 10 years. Dover's elected Supervisors of the Checklist last verified the list in 2021.

For information, contact the City Clerk’s Office at 603-516-6018, or visit the How to Register webpage about registering to vote.
