“Recall” is a process to remove an elected official before his or her term ends. The recent attempt to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom of California has drawn national attention to the process. Now some state legislators want to bring recalls to New.
CONCORD â As he signaled last month, Gov. Chris Sununu has vetoed a bill that would change the date of the state primary from September to August.
Under House Bill 98, the date of the state primary would be the first Tuesday in August instead of the second Tuesday in September.
In his veto message, the governor said the change would move the election and campaign season into the middle of summer.
âThis is a time when many Granite Staters are enjoying their vacations and are far less likely to be involved in the electoral process,â Sununu wrote in his veto message. âThis change could lead to depressed voter engagement in the election and reduced turnout.â
