Poll Pad with CaseTo accelerate the check-in process at Elections, check-in will be accomplished by the use of Poll Pads.  The use of these computer tablets will allow our election officers to check a voter in:

  1. By scanning the bar code on the back of the voter’s Driver’s License.  In this case the Poll Pad matches the name and address of the voter on the voter list and reads it from the bar code on the back of the license.  NO information from the scanned license is retained by the Poll Pad; or
  2. By manually entering the first few letters of the voter’s first and last name.

Please note that you may now appear before any ballot clerk for check-in, the entire checklist is on the Poll Pad.   The Poll Pads immediately sync to one another, eliminating any chance of a voter checking in more than once.

NH Voter Information

https://app.sos.nh.gov
 

Every resident of Barrington who has a fixed and permanent domicile in the town, who is a citizen of the United States, and who is 18 years of age may register to vote in the town. A resident is someone who has a domicile in the town on a continuing basis for a significant portion of each year. A person can have only one domicile for the purpose of voting.

Voter Registration Form

Information that must be provided includes name, address (mailing and legal residence), place and date of birth and proof of citizenship. Filling out the voter registration form and signing it involves a solemn oath that the information is true.

Party Affiliation

 No one is required to list a party affiliation, but in New Hampshire one may register as a Democrat, Republican or an Undeclared Voter.  Listing oneself as undeclared means that one has no party preference; there is no "independent" party. In primary elections an undeclared voter may request any party's ballot at the polls and will be listed on the checklist in the future as affiliated with that party.

A voter who wishes to return to an undeclared status after voting may do so at the place of polling, however, change of party affiliation from one party to another may be done no sooner than the day after election.

Rights and Responsibilities

If the qualifications to vote are met, the Supervisors of the Checklist will add the applicant to the voter checklist. As a registered voter of Barrington, New Hampshire, one has the right to vote at any meeting or election held within the town. One also shares in all the responsibilities of being a citizen of the town and state.

Where to Register

Individuals may register to vote at the town clerk's office with office hours (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Wednesday 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm.) Applications may be made at any time of the year (except 10 days prior to any election). There are also special registration sessions on Saturday mornings and evening hours on certain dates just prior to an election.

These dates will be posted on the Town Clerk's Calendar and posted on the bulletin board at the door of the Town Office. You may also register at the Polls on Election Days, with proper ID and proof of residency.
