Bill > SB215

This bill requires unorganized towns or unincorporated places with 100 or more registered voters to elect town officers specifically for the purpose of conducting local, county, state, and federal elections. Currently, such areas may not have a formal mechanism for managing elections, so this legislation ensures that these jurisdictions with a substantial voter base can organize and oversee electoral processes. By amending the existing Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 53:1, the bill creates a new provision mandating that these areas establish election officers who will be responsible for managing voter checklists and facilitating various levels of elections. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving these unorganized towns and unincorporated places time to set up the necessary election infrastructure and select appropriate town officers to manage their electoral activities.
