Ayotte vetoes partisan elections for school offices
Calling it a “system that is not broken,” Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed legislation to allow any city or town to hold partisan school district elections.
House chair urged lawmakers to let school races be partisan
House Election Laws Chairman Ross Berry, R-Weare, had been a big supporter of the bill to allow any city or town to decide their school district elections would be partisan. Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed the bill Monday.
The Republican-led Legislature had approved the bill (HB 356) largely along party lines, after its supporters maintained that it would help voters know the political affiliations of candidates on the ballot.
