HB1418 sets a 15% voter turnout threshold for budget approvals in towns and school districts in New Hampshire.
HB1418 amends New Hampshire's RSA to establish a minimum voter turnout requirement for budget approvals in towns and school districts. Specifically, in towns and school districts using the official ballot referendum form, a budget proposal will not pass unless at least 15% of registered voters participate and a majority vote "Yes." This change applies to both operating budgets and other appropriations. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
