NASHUA – Options are available to New Hampshire citizens to register and participate in the upcoming fall elections. 

During Wednesday’s city press conference, City Clerk Sue Lovering said that the Secretary of State and the Attorney General have determined that all citizens of New Hampshire are entitled to use the disability provisions in the state’s voter registration and absentee voting laws to register and/or cast their vote by absentee ballot in the fall elections. 

For absentee voter registrations, Lovering said residents who are unable to register or cast their ballots in person may request an absentee voter registration package and/or an absentee ballot. Voters would receive the material by mail. 

Voter registrations and requests for absentee ballots may be returned by by mail, email, fax, telephone or the drop-off box behind City Hall. The City Clerk’s Office is located at 229 Main St.

“Those packets and instructions will be mailed to your home and make sure that you fill it out completely and mark the disability section on the absentee registration affidavit for your reason to vote absentee,” Lovering said. 

Absentee ballot requests are available online or by contacting the Nashua City Clerk’s Office at 589-3010, option 5. The office can also be reached at CityClerkDept@nashuanh.gov or by fax at 589-3029. 

More information is also available on the Secretary of State’s website, http://sos.nh.gov/VotingEmergency.aspx. 

“If you’re voting absentee at both fall elections you must submit a separate request for each election,” Lovering said. 

The City Clerk’s Office also continues to accept online and mail in requests for dog licenses, taxi and chauffeur licenses, hawkers and peddlers licenses, permits for special events, overnight parking permits and certified copies of birth certificates and death certificates and marriage licenses. 

The office also continues to make appointments to apply in-person for a marriage license or to register to vote.
