RP's local Townhall forum worked!

I thought you could register at the polls in NH. I know that undeclared voters can pick either party's ballot.

WHO CAN REGISTER
New Hampshire residents who will be 18 years of age or older on election day, and a United States Citizen, may register with the town or city clerk where they live up to 10 days before any election. You may also register on election day at the polling place. The town clerk's office can inform voters of what proof of qualification they should bring to register.

There is no minimum period of time you are required to have lived in the state before being allowed to register. You may register as soon as you move into your new community.

HOW TO REGISTER
1) Apply to your town or city clerk's office. You will be required to fill out a standard voter registration form and will be required to show proof of age, citizenship and domicile.
2) It may be easier for you to register with your community's Supervisors of the Checklist. By law they are required to meet on the Saturday 10 days prior to each election. Check the local newspaper(s) or call your clerk's office for the date and time of such meeting.
3) Qualified individuals may also register to vote at the polling place on election day at all elections. You will be asked to show proof of age, citizenship, and domicile.

ABSENTEE REGISTRATION
If you meet the state's voter requirements and qualifications and are unable to register in person because of physical disability, religious beliefs, military service, or because of temporary absence, you may register by mail. You should request an absentee voter registration affidavit and a standard voter registration form from your town/city clerk. The absentee voter registration affidavit must be witnessed and then both the affidavit and the voter registration form are to be returned to your town/city clerk.

awesome.
 
That is awesome news. After I watched the meeting I knew I had to keep an eye out for Manchester. Another good news - I've convinced a Huckabee supporter to consider Dr. Paul. Let's keep up the good work, everyone! :D
 
Mmm, ok, are you being sarcastic? I don't hang out here enough to know you, so I won't go there.

I'll say that on my block alone in Ward 9 (Manchester), there are 12 homes with very prominent RP signs, and at least 4 of them had them up well before Thanksgiving.

Neighbors who HAD McCain, Romney, Hillary signs before the latest snowstorms did NOT dig their signs out from the 4-5' high snowbanks, but the Ron Paul supporters did. :) On my street, leading to the polling place, Ron Paul signs rule!

Smoke that any way you can roll it, eh?

I would ask any of those people if they need a ride to vote for RP. This is what we need to be focusing at this point. Identify RP supporters and physically take them to the polling place!
 
I am Undeclared (Independent) and so I may choose either party's ballot, vote, then change back to Undeclared right after I vote.

Only first-time NH voters may register AT the polls, but they need several "proof of domicile" documents (license, utility bills, rental agreement/lease, mortgage papers, bank statements mailed to their address, etc...)
http://www.sos.nh.gov/voting in new hampshire.htm

And since the relativity/number of documents changes from clerk to clerk... I'd recommend bringing all forms of "proof of domicile" with you if you plan to register at the polls. Tax returns, credit card statements, bills- anything with your name & address on it, especially if you don't have a NH driver's license.

This info need to put in a new thread and be bumped all day.
 
Thanks for the report from the front lines!


I think we're all probably feeling some stress about now.

I don't get emotional, but, unlike the IA caucus, I did lose sleep last night over the NH primary!
 
Great News. I think the forum was excellent as was his appearance on Leno tonight... Hopefully Paul is gaining new supporters.

I think the big thing is going to be getting out the vote though.

All New Hampshire people should not only vote but bring everyone they know in a minivan to vote too (buy 'em lunch for voting for Paul, whatever you can think of.)
 
Thanks for the info. You NEED to tell the 70 year old lady to tell all her friends and relatives to vote for Ron Paul and tell her to tell them to tell other people and just pass on the message.

Good work
