N.H. ballot question: What to know about raising the judicial retirement age

An amendment to the New Hampshire constitution is on the ballot this November, concerning the state’s mandatory judicial retirement age.

To make an amendment to the state constitution, the measure must first pass the state’s House and Senate with 60% majorities. This measure to raise the mandatory judicial retirement age from 70 to 75 did so, putting it on the ballot before voters in the 2024 election.

Now, the constitution will be amended if 67% of voters support changing the judicial retirement age.

The New Hampshire Increase Mandatory Retirement Age for Judges Amendment will be on the ballot on Nov. 5 as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It will be the only question on the ballot in the state.
