As Election Day in New Hampshire approaches, Secretary of State David Scanlan assured the public that communities are taking steps to ensure a secure and transparent election process. With concerns over misinformation and election integrity, Scanlan stated that security and transparency are top priorities for next week’s election. Polling place security is being closely monitored, and police officers will likely be present to address any potential issues.
Scanlan also urged voters to be aware of misinformation being spread by foreign countries like China and Russia in an attempt to influence the election outcome. He emphasized the importance of seeking accurate information from trusted sources such as local election officials, the secretary of state, and the attorney general’s office. With over 900,000 registered voters in New Hampshire, including a large number of undeclared voters, Scanlan highlighted the resources available to assist voters with any questions about the election process.
As the presidential election draws near, Scanlan warned that misinformation and disinformation are expected to increase. Despite no specific threats, preparations are in place to address any potential issues that may arise on Election Day. With a focus on maintaining the integrity of the election, New Hampshire officials are committed to ensuring a smooth and secure voting process for all residents.
