CONCORD, N.H. —

New Hampshire's new proof-of-citizenship voting law got one of its first big tests in this month's municipal elections, and there are differing views at the State House over how well the new law is working.

Advocates say New Hampshire's new proof-of-citizenship voting law turned away more than 100 potential voters in this month's municipal elections.

Qualified voters who stayed through the process of having a prior registration confirm their eligibility said it created a significant delay.

"I don't want to say it was an hour, but it was close to it," said Michael Blanchette, of Manchester. "It was definitely more than 45 minutes, and I knew I had done my end of it, so I knew it was right."
