Town officials in Merrimack have submitted a formal, written request seeking a special election to fill the seat left vacant by state Rep. Dick Hinch, who died earlier this month from COVID-19.
âThe requirement is that the town canât hold a special election without approval of the governor and executive council,â said Town Council Chairman Tom Koenig.
A letter was sent last week to Gov. Chris Sununu and Secretary of State Bill Gardner asking that a special election be granted to fill Hinchâs seat.
âThere have been questions about what is going to happen,â said town councilor Nancy Harrington.
