Summary

The measure changes New Hampshire law so that if an executive councilor or state senator leaves office, a special election must be called within 21 days. In contrast, any vacancy for a state representative or a delegate to a state party convention will remain empty. This creates a clear process for some offices while eliminating the need to fill others.
