See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures

If there is a vacancy in the New Hampshire General Court, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat. To fill a Senate or House vacancy, a town or city in the district must first make a formal request to the governor and executive council for a special election. The governor and council will approve or deny the request within 21 days and then set the filing deadline and election dates.[12][13][14]

See also: Redistricting in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. These lines are subject to veto by the governor.[15]

State law requires that state legislative districts "be contiguous, and maintain the boundaries of towns, wards, or unincorporated places." There are no such requirements in place for congressional districts.[15]

### 2020[edit]

### 2010[edit]

See also: Redistricting in New Hampshire after the 2010 census

New Hampshire received its local Census data on March 22, 2011. The state's population increased 6.5 percent, with Coos County being the only county to face a decrease (-0.2 percent). Growth in the larger cities was as follows: Manchester grew by 2.4 percent, Nashua decreased by 0.1 percent, Concord grew by 4.9 percent, Derry decreased by 2.7 percent, and Dover grew by 11.5 percent.[17]

At the time of redistricting, Republicans controlled the General Court, and the Democrats controlled the governorship. On March 23, 2012, Governor John Lynch (D) signed into law a new Senate plan but vetoed the House map, citing a lack of representation in towns exceeding 3,000 people, which automatically required their own representative. The Legislature overrode the veto on March 28, 2012, and the Department of Justice approved the maps in May 2012, as required by the Voting Rights Act.

### About legislative sessions in New Hampshire[edit]

The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution declares that any power not already given to the federal government is reserved to the states and the people.[28] State governments across the country use this authority to hold legislative sessions where a state's elected representatives meet for a period of time to draft and vote on legislation and set state policies on issues such as taxation, education, and government spending. The different types of legislation passed by a legislature may include resolutions, legislatively referred constitutional amendments, and bills that become law.

The  Second Part of the New Hampshire Constitution establishes when the New Hampshire General Court, of which the House is a part, is to be in session. Article 3 of the Second Part states that the General Court is to convene annually on the first Wednesday after the first Tuesday in January. Additionally, in even-numbered years, the General Court is to meet on the first Wednesday of December for organizational purposes.

## Legislative roles and procedures[edit]

Every state legislature throughout the country features its own internal procedures that it uses to govern itself and how it interacts with other parts of state government. Ballotpedia's coverage of internal state legislative procedures includes veto overrides, the role of the legislature in the state budget, procedures for filling membership vacancies, and redistricting.

### Veto overrides[edit]

See also: Veto overrides in state legislatures

State legislatures can override governors' vetoes. Depending on the state, this can be done during the regular legislative session, in a special session following the adjournment of the regular session, or during the next legislative session. The rules for legislative overrides of gubernatorial vetoes in New Hampshire are listed below.

How many legislators are required to vote for an override? Two-thirds of members in both chambers.

Two-thirds of members in both chambers must vote to override a veto, which is 267 of the 400 members in the New Hampshire House of Representatives and 16 of the 24 members in the New Hampshire State Senate. New Hampshire is one of 36 states that requires a two-thirds vote from both of its legislative chambers to override a veto.

Authority: Executive Power, Article 44 of the New Hampshire Constitution.

"Every bill which shall have passed both houses of the general court, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the governor, if he approves, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it; if after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with such objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and, if approved by two-thirds of that house, it shall become a law."

### Role in state budget[edit]

* * *

The state operates on a biennial budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:[29]

1. Budget instructions are sent to state agencies in August.
2. State agencies submit their requests by October 1.
3. Agency hearings and public hearings are held in November.
4. The governor submits his or her proposed budget to the New Hampshire State Legislature by February 15.
5. The legislature adopts a budget in May. A simple majority is required to pass a budget.
6. The biennial budget cycle begins in July.

New Hampshire is one of only six states in which the governor cannot exercise line item veto authority.[29]

In New Hampshire, the governor is required by statute to submit a balanced budget. In turn, the legislature is required to pass a balanced budget.[29]

## Committees[edit]

See also: List of committees in New Hampshire state government

Every state legislature and state legislative chamber in the country contains several legislative committees. These committees are responsible for studying, amending, and voting on legislation before it reaches the floor of a chamber for a full vote. The different types of committees include standing committees, select or special, and joint.

* Standing committees are generally permanent committees, the names of which sometimes change from session to session.
* Select or special committees are temporary committees formed to deal with specific issues such as recent legislation, major public policy or proposals, or investigations.
* Joint committees are committees that feature members of both chambers of a legislature.

Ballotpedia covers standing and joint committees. The New Hampshire House of Representatives has 25 standing committees:

* Children and Family Law Committee
* Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee
* Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee
* Election Law Committee
* Environment and Agriculture Committee
* Finance - Division I Committee
* Finance - Division II Committee
* Finance - Division III Committee

* Public Works and Highways Committee
* Resources, Recreation and Development Committee
* Rules Committee
* Science, Technology and Energy Committee
* Special Committee On Redistricting
* State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee

## Constitutional amendments[edit]

In every state but Delaware, voter approval is required to enact a constitutional amendment. In each state, the legislature has a process for referring constitutional amendments before voters. In 18 states, initiated constitutional amendments can be put on the ballot through a signature petition drive. There are also many other types of statewide measures.

The methods in which the New Hampshire Constitution can be amended:

See also: Article 100 of the New Hampshire Constitution and Laws governing ballot measures in New Hampshire

There are two paths to altering the New Hampshire Constitution: A legislatively referred constitutional amendment or a constitutional convention.

* Part II, Article 100 says that a legislatively referred constitutional amendment can go on the ballot if approved by a 60 percent vote in each house of the New Hampshire General Court.

* Once on the ballot, a proposed amendment must be approved by two-thirds of those voting in order to become part of the state's constitution.

* Article 100 says that a constitutional convention can also be called to propose amendments or revisions to the constitution.

* A question about whether to have a convention can be put on the ballot through a majority vote in both houses of the New Hampshire legislature.
* A question about whether to have a convention also goes on the ballot automatically every 10 years.
* In each case, the wording of the question is, "Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the constitution?"
* A majority of those voting must approve it.
* Delegates to that convention can propose amendments by a 60 percent vote.
* A two-thirds supermajority vote of qualified voters is required to adopt any such proposed amendments.
