New Hampshire s Supreme Court has struck down a four-year old law requiring voters to show additional proof of identity if they register shortly before an election.
The high court s unanimous 4-0 ruling, which was issued Friday, upholds a lower court s decision that the law approved by the Legislature in 2017 was unconstitutional.
In the ruling, the justices wrote that they agreed with the lower court rulings that the law imposes unreasonable burdens on the right to vote and that lawyers for the state failed to demonstrate that the law was related to an important governmental objective.
