New Hampshire citizens who are at least 18 years of age must demonstrate
proof of residency and register with the Town Clerk in order to exercise the
right to vote. |
|
Derry residents may register at the Town Clerk’s Office,
14 Manning Street,
Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM-4:00 PM and on Wednesday from 10:00 AM - 7:00PM. |
|
Proof of residency can be a
document that provides your name and address. Acceptable proof includes items
such as: a driver’s license with residence address, vehicle registration
with residence address, current postmarked personal mail, a library card with
correct address, a lease, utility bill, and/or a payroll stub with your
address on it. If you were born outside of the United States proof of
citizenship must additionally be provided. Citizenship and Domicile affidavits
are available. Please call the Town Clerk’s
Office for guidance if you have any questions about the type of documentation
you will need (603-432-6105). |
|
In New Hampshire, no one is permitted to register to vote after ten (10)
days prior to an election, except on Election Day. This allows the Supervisors
of the Checklist time to update and print the Checklist that will be used at
the polls on Election Day. |
|
Registering to vote on Election Day at the polls is allowed, but be prepared
for a delay. Registering and voting on Election Day will require you to wait
in two lines: one to register and one to vote. You must provide proof of
residency. Save time by registering ahead! |
|
The Supervisors hold sessions prior to every election for voters to register
or make corrections in their voter information. These sessions are always
published in the Derry News published on the Derry Cable Channel 17 and posted
at the Town Hall. |
|
The Supervisors also have an answering service and will return any call left
on our office number (603-845-5490). |
