New Hampshire has same-day voter registration, so you can REGISTER AT YOUR POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY! To be eligible to vote in New Hampshire, you need to prove your identity, age, citizenship and domicile (physical address). You can sign affidavits to prove most of these qualifications if you lack documentation.
Note: you must provide a photo ID if you register to vote for the first time in NH on election day. If you forget or don’t have an ID when you register, you can cast a ballot but will need to provide documentation within 7 days of the election proving your identity for your vote to be counted in the final results.

College students can vote in New Hampshire just like anyone else.
Here are the requirements:
You must be a US citizen
You must be 18 years or older on or before E-day
You must be domiciled in New Hampshire
NOTE: you can use your student ID when registering and voting.
“Domicile” is just a fancy word for live - you are domiciled where you choose to lay your head at night and where you choose to be part of the community.
Per RSA 654:1, I-a, “a student of any institution of learning may lawfully claim domicile for voting purposes in the New Hampshire town or city in which he or she lives while attending such institution of learning if such student’s claim of domicile otherwise meets the requirements.”
