No surprise that in Massachusetts which has an income tax, one can become a resident in 30 seconds, while in New Hampshire it can take three years of re-hearings. In Mass, it is determined at the state level, and in New Hampshire it is determined at the town level.

I don't know where you are getting your information but it is not so. There are state and federal laws that govern voter registration. The only requirement that could be in question is if I am a resident. There are no time limits for instance, you can move in today and be a voting resident right away.
The question could arise as to if I sleep more nights in Meredith than anywhere else. But that is no problem.
I have already spoken to the Meredith Town Clerk about this. She was skeptical when I said Bear Island, but after we talked it through she saw no problem.
There is no law against moving from MA to NH? Or that says a NH resident can't have a second home in MA.
