Bill > HB1689

This bill extends the term of office for certain elected county officers, including the sheriff, county attorney, county treasurer, register of deeds, and register of probate, in Belknap County to four years beginning with the 2026 state general election, and in Merrimack County to four years beginning with the 2028 state general election, aligning these elections with subsequent state general elections. This change means these officials will serve for longer periods before needing to be re-elected, and for Merrimack County, their elections will now coincide with the presidential election cycle every four years.
