Reply to comment by WhoWhatWhereWhenHowY in Is there a connection between NH's restrictive early voting policies and a desire to keep First-in-the-Nation status? by PurpleSubtlePlan

It is restricted to the extent that it doesn't exist.

Absentee ballots? You can get them and vote early. Not super difficult.

Absentee ballots aren't universal like they were during covid.

I used them before covid as well and I never found them too difficult to get. Perhaps that has changed.

You need a reason to vote absentee in NH. That reason can be work/childcare obligations during all of the hours when polling is open. So it is sort of loose if that can apply to you.

That was because of covid. The state of emergency ended.

NH does not use vote by mail, NH uses absentee ballots. Each state determines its own election law. All of the reasons you may use to request one is on the application. https://www.sos.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt561/files/inline-documents/sonh/absentee-ballot-application-state-election.pdf
