Online voter registration in NH?

As of August 2015, over half of all states allow online voter registration. 

In those states, voters can register through a website by providing unique identifying information, such as a driver’s license number or social security number. Software automatically verifies the registration by comparing the individual’s information with data from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Supporters of online voter registration argue that it saves taxpayers the cost of manually processing paper registrations. Start-up costs can also be relatively low, under $100,000.

Opponents of online voter registration are concerned about cybersecurity. In 2012, researchers from the University of Michigan found a way to hack the Maryland voter registration website that could disrupt registered voters’ ability to vote on Election Day.

Securing online voter registration against hacking adds additional costs.

On the other hand, there are several known examples of groups abusing the paper voter registration process, while there are no documented hacks of online voter registration websites.
