On May 28, a federal judge ruled that parts of a New Hampshire law requiring individuals to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote were unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge Samantha Elliott's ruling did not invalidate the proof-of-citizenship requirement.
Instead, it reinstated the option for people to register to vote by signing an affidavit attesting to their citizenship under penalty of perjury, rather than presenting another document, such as a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers, to register.
