New Hampshire eliminated student IDs as a standalone form of voter identification in April 2026. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante (G.W. Bush) declined to block the law but ordered the state to correct certain guidance before the November election, since student IDs could still be considered alongside other evidence under alternative identity verification procedures

SCOTUS (per curiam) stayed the injunction, citing Purcell and the principle that federal courts should not alter election procedures shortly before an election. Justice Jackson dissented, saying that correcting inaccurate guidance does not change election rules, and that Purcell should not prevent courts from reducing voter confusion.
