NH HB1541

Secretary of State must provide all voting precincts with secure, durable, reusable, transportable, and stackable ballot storage containers equipped with locks, tamper-evident sealers, and registration or serial numbers

Containers must be distributed before each state and federal election, with special containers also required for question-to-voter ballots

Implementation must use available Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002 funding, with the Secretary of State required to submit annual progress reports detailing containers replaced, locations, and plans for the following year

Fiscal impact is indeterminable due to unknown costs for custom manufacturing, shipping, and potential funding limitations; no funds are currently appropriated for the initiative

Effective date is 60 days after passage
