New Hampshire Campaign for Voting Rights Statement on Governor Sununu Signing Senate Bill 489
CONCORD, NH — Today, Governor Sununu signed Senate Bill 489 into law, creating a post-election audit system to ensure results on election night were accurately counted and recorded, incorporating best practices to review both scanned and paper ballots.
McKenzie St. Germain, Campaign Director for the New Hampshire Campaign for Voting Rights, released the following statement:
“Post election audits are a commonsense policy that help increase voter confidence, modernize our election infrastructure, and ensure our elections are free from errors. This policy was a recommendation from the 2022 Special Committee on Voter Confidence, and has broad support from Granite Staters. We’re glad to see the Governor sign this bipartisan policy into law and for it to be in effect this year.”
