Probably the best way is to get a NH drivers license. Check nh.gov for the process.
Where in NH do you want to be? If you state a general area, then people here can recommend towns to check out....

Check with the town clerk and/or the supervisors of the checklist. In order to register to vote you must prove:

You are who you claim to be
You are a citizen
You live in town

Factiously,

Many cops, unfortunately, think that it's ten days. They are usually thinking of how long before you switch your tags on your car, and I think even that is ten days AFTER establishing residency.

Just a question

How do you prove you live in town?

Tax bill?

Here's my scenario;

I bought a house in NH, which, right now, is a vacation/weekend home. I have a PO box, pay taxes in the town, have the Transfer station sticker, Bills to the house for utilities.... yada, yada, yada...

How does the town PROVE I live there, short of a Driver's licence?

In two years I planned on declaring residency at said home, as my daughter wishes to attend UNH. Resident rates are better than non, and she can live @ the house, rather than campus.

so let's say in two years I declare that NH is my home, switch all my stuff, but continue to live in my [now] NJ vacation home. What's the diff?...short of where I declare residency....

So how do you prove you live in town???
for all intent and purpose, the town Tax Office thinks/assumes/bills me as if I live there now....
