New Hampshire - New Hampshire Secretary of State
Program Title
New American Pocket Voter Guide
Program Summary
The Secretary of States Office created the New American Pocket Voter Guide in 2023 to empower New Americans getting ready to register to vote and participate in local, state, and federal elections. The guide is organized in chronological order, advising new citizens how to register, how to vote absentee if they qualify, and how to navigate their local polling place. The guide has several QR codes, including one that links to the instructional video, titled New Americans: Voting in New Hampshire. The video features interviews with advocates and local election officials, along with several New Americans. The video not only inspires voters but also advises election officials on what they can do to assist New Americans and make the polling place a welcoming place for all. To roll out the effort, the Secretary of States Office hosted its own naturalization ceremony for 24 New Americans in its State Archives building.
