Bill Summary
Relating to recall elections. Providing that the general court may authorize recall elections.
AI Summary
This Constitutional Amendment, relating to recall elections, proposes to amend Article 5 of the New Hampshire Constitution to grant the state legislature, referred to as the "general court," the authority to establish a procedure allowing citizens to initiate a recall election. A recall election is a process where voters can remove an elected official from office before their term is completed. Currently, New Hampshire does not have such a mechanism. If approved by voters, this amendment would empower the general court to create laws that enable citizens to hold these special elections to remove officials deemed unfit for office.
