SB 344 New Hampshire Senate · 2024 Regular Session

relative to declarations of candidacy for president of the United States.

This New Hampshire bill requires presidential candidates to include the specific primary date designated by the Secretary of State in their official declaration of candidacy. The law mandates that candidates sign a sworn statement confirming their eligibility under the U.S. Constitution and declaring their party affiliation or status as a recognized candidate. By updating the required form, the legislation ensures that the primary election date is explicitly listed in the official filing documents submitted to the state. These changes take effect on July 13, 2024, and directly impact individuals running for the presidency in New Hampshire.
