HB 1345 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the length of terms for Coos county officers.

This bill changes the election terms for Coos County officials, including the county attorney, sheriff, treasurer, register of deeds, and register of probate, from two years to four years. The change applies to elections starting in 2024 and will continue for all future elections, aligning Coos County with the existing four-year terms already in place for Rockingham County. These officials will now be voted on by county residents every four years instead of every two years, and the law takes effect on September 1, 2024.
