New Hampshire Senate Committee Votes for an August Non-Presidential Primary

On May 24, the New Hampshire Senate Election Law Committee amended HB 98 and passed it. As passed by the House, the bill changes the non-presidential primary from September to June. But the Senate Committee amended it to move the primary to the second Tuesday in August. Also the Senate Committee amended the bill to say it would not go into effect until 2023.

The bill now has the indirect effect of moving the deadline for minor party and independent candidate petitions from August to July.
