New Hampshire high school and college students will be barred from using their school identification cards to vote Nov. 3, after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a New Hampshire federal judge Thursday evening. The court’s ruling, which was unsigned, restores enforcement of a 2026 New Hampshire law that removed the school ID cards from the list of acceptable documents to prove identity at the polls.

The project, officials said at a Concord press conference, will provide rural EMS and ambulance providers with new equipment and technology, workforce training and partnership assistance for neighboring communities to share resources.
