Amend the New Hampshire Constitution to eliminate the elected office of register of probate, which lost nearly all of its former court functions following the 2011 judicial reorganization.

Question 2‚ Vote NO

Reject the proposed two-year limit on local school property-tax levy growth and the 6% cap on designated school administrative unit central-office spending, as provided in HB 1300 (Chapter 324).

These positions are recommendations from the Amherst Democrats. Please review the official language before voting.
