No problem with voting rights for New Hampshire full-time RVers
New Hampshire residents and visitors to the state who live full time in RVs can vote there under most circumstances.
Nationally, the U.S. Census says more than 100,000 Americans live full time in RVs, and many of them are uncertain about where they can vote or have had their voting rights taken taken away. In some states, election officials have purged RV residents from their voting rolls if their only official address is a post office box.
But in New Hampshire, Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan says that full-time RV residents who sell their New Hampshire homes and head off on the road full time can vote, as long as they haven't established a legal residence elsewhere.
RV owners who come to New Hampshire also can vote, says Scanla, as long as they establish a permanent residence by renting a space, buying a piece of land or setting up their RV on a family member's land, or doing something similar.
