U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
New Hampshire Youth Movement v. Scanlan
September 4, 2026
Summary
The First Circuit considered the defendants' request for a stay of the district court's injunction enjoining New Hampshire House Bill 1569's elimination of qualified and challenged voter affidavits. The court denied the stay, finding the applicants failed to show irreparable harm, were unduly delayed, and that the public interest favored maintaining the affidavit system for the upcoming primary and general elections.
