Under RSA 654:39, Supervisors of the checklist/registrars, who are responsible for adding and removing names from their city or town’s voter checklist, must hold public sessions between April 1 and August 1 of 2026 to determine which voters on the checklist have not voted in any elections in the past five years and who have not registered since the 2024 State General  Election. These voters are required to re-register if they want to remain on the voter checklist and vote in future elections. 

Supervisors of the checklist must inform any voter eligible for removal, at least 30 days before removing their name from the voter checklist, that they will be removed from the checklist and need to re-register following the instructions in the letter/postcard. Supervisors of the  checklist/registrars are required by law to remove these voters from the voter checklist, no earlier than June 1, even if they know a voter still lives in town.  

The Canterbury Supervisors of the Checklist will be meeting on Saturday, June 20 from 2 pm to 3 pm, and Saturday, August 1 from 10 am to 11 am in the meeting room at the town offices (Sam Lake House) to conduct re-registration process. Applicants may also re-register by applying at the Town Clerk’s Office during regular office hours.  Any applications for registration or changes received by the Town Clerk will be reviewed by the Supervisors of the Checklist at their next public session.  Qualified applicants may 
also register to vote on the day of an election.
