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.^[2][3][4]

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.^[8]
