Four-year governor term proposed

CONCORD - Nashua Democratic Rep. David Campbell said Thursday that it’s time to once again ask New Hampshire voters if the governor should be elected every four years.

New Hampshire and Vermont are the only two states in the nation that elect chief executives to two-year terms.

In 1982, 64 percent of voters approved of the idea, but that was short of the two-thirds majority needed to amend the constitution.

The question at the time also would have imposed a term limit on the office of no more than two, four-year terms.
