HB1131 modifies the process for adopting the official ballot referendum form of town meeting in New Hampshire.

HB1131 amends the Revised Statutes of New Hampshire to change how the official ballot referendum form of town meeting is adopted. It requires the local political subdivision to place the question on the warrant of the annual meeting under RSA 39:3 or RSA 197:6, with the question appearing first on the warrant. Voting on the question must be by ballot, but it should not be on the official ballot used to elect officers. Polls must remain open and ballots must be accepted by the moderator for at least one hour after the completion of discussion on the question.
