New Hampshire has multi-member House districts. The bill would advance 2 times the number to be elected (e.g. in Bedford it would be a Top 14 for the 7 seats).
Both Keene & Manchester use a top -two system for municipal elections. I’m unsure if the other cities also use this.
Top-two is not used for town elections.
Keene has nonpartisan elections for city office, with no party labels on the ballot. I think that is true also for Manchester. So “top-two”, by normal word usage, is not a good description for those city elections. “Top-two” was coined by the Washington state big newspapers in 2008, and it refers to elections with party labels on the ballot.
Darryl Perry is a commie retard so ignore him.
What would be the term for nonpartisan elections that use a primary to determine the candidates advancing to the general election?
Jungle, I think. Correct me if I’m wrong.
