Voter registration event to be held at City Hall Oct. 19

posted on 10/3/2024

The city’s Supervisors of the Checklist will host a voter registration event on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the auditorium of Dover City Hall, 288 Central Ave.

During this session, supervisors will register new voters, record address changes, and make necessary corrections to the voter checklist.

Residents may also register at the City Clerk's Office at City Hall during regular hours, Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The last date to register before the Nov. 5, 2024 election is Monday, Oct. 28. After that date, any voter registration will occur on Election Day at the resident’s designated polling place. The city’s online interactive ward map helps voters determine the voter’s ward and provides its polling location. Voters who have moved from one ward to another in Dover should also update their voter registration.

In New Hampshire, there is no time requirement to live in the state before being allowed to register. Residents may register to vote upon moving into Dover or between city wards. Eligible voters must be at least 18 years old on Election Day, a United States citizen, and domiciled in the Dover ward where they seek to vote. Registering to vote requires proof of identity, age, citizenship, and domicile. This proof can be by presenting documents or signing an affidavit under oath with an election official. Documents that prove identity, age, citizenship, and domicile include a driver's license or non-driver ID from any state that provides proof of identity and age, a birth certificate, a U.S. Passport/Passcard, or a naturalization document that satisfies proof of citizenship.
