New Hampshire HB1044 revises the process for filling vacancies in county commissioner offices.

New Hampshire HB1044 modifies the procedure for filling vacancies in county commissioner offices. It specifies that if the vacancy occurs within 30 days before the primary election, the county convention members fill the vacancy. If the term is less than the unexpired term, the filled district is added to the next biennial election ballot. The elected person takes office after the next county commissioners' meeting. The bill also repeals and reenacts RSA 661:9, II, detailing how county convention members fill vacancies based on whether voting is by district or not.
