relative to moving the state primary date.

HB 481 moves New Hampshire's state primary election from September to the second Tuesday in June of even-numbered years, as amended in RSA 653:8. This change directly affects all voters registered in the state and candidates seeking state offices who must file for primaries. Key provisions include adjusting registration deadline windows (restricting party affiliation changes from March 1 to the day before the June primary) and updating filing periods for candidates to align with the new June date. The bill modifies multiple election statutes to implement this timing shift, ensuring consistency across primary election procedures.
