CONCORD, N.H. — The New Hampshire Supreme Court on May 15 upheld a lower court ruling that struck down a 2012 voter registration law, saying language that links voting to getting a driver’s license is unconstitutional and could discourage some people from casting ballots.
The court, in a unanimous decision, said because the language is confusing and inaccurate, and because it could cause an otherwise qualified voter not to register to vote in New Hampshire, “the burden it imposes upon the fundamental right to vote is unreasonable.”
