New Hampshire Bill to Move Primary from September to June Passes Committee

On February 17, the New Hampshire Senate Election Law & Municipal Affairs Committee passed SB 328. It moves the non-presidential primary from September to June. It also moves the petition deadline for independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, from August to May. If it passed, it would almost certainly be held unconstitutional, especially as applied to independent presidential candidates.

Governor Chris Sununu vetoed a similar bill last year.
