On February 19, the New Hampshire House defeated HB 1214 on a voice vote. It would have eased ballot access for minor parties.

The House also defeated HB 1403, which would have changed New Hampshire general election ballots from party-column ballots, to office-group ballots. Very few states still have party-column ballots. The others are Connecticut, Delaware, New York, and most counties in New Jersey. Thanks to Darryl Perry for this news.
