NH Bill Would Reduce Petition Requirements, Ease Definition of “Party”

From Richard Winger at Ballot Access News:

Newly-elected New Hampshire State Representative Max Abramson has pre-filed HB 713, which eases ballot access. It would lower the vote test for party status from 4% to 2%. It would reduce the petition for establishment of a new party from 3% of the last gubernatorial vote to 1,000 signatures. It would reduce the independent statewide petition from 3,000 to 1,000 signatures, and lower the independent petition for lower offices as well. Thanks to Darryl Perry for this news.
