House Bill 1224 would affirm the moderator’s right to postpone business or deliberative sessions, but elections must take place on the second Tuesday in March. SB 438The Senate approved its version of corrective language for town elections last Thursday and the bill now goes to the House for action. The postponement of elections in New Hampshire has been and should remain extraordinarily rare. If the secretary of state fails to respond to a postponement request within four hours, the moderator may go ahead and postpone the election. The bill also makes provision for a fire or other disaster that might prevent voters from reaching the polls.
