This election season, political donors will be able to contribute more money to New Hampshire political candidates while staying anonymous, under a new law signed by Gov. Kelly Ayotte.

Senate Bill 405, which Ayotte signed Friday, raises the total contribution cap for an anonymous donor to $200 per election cycle. Under the new law, if an individual, political committee, corporation, or other organization donates $200 or less to one candidate’s political committee, the donor’s name must not be added to the contribution list on the candidate’s campaign finance reports. If the aggregate donation is more than $200, the donor’s name must be included.
