The state legislators who will meet over the two years from 2009 through 2010 will make up the 161st Session of the NEW HAMPSHIRE GENERAL COURT. (NOTE: the numbering of New Hampshire's GENERAL COURTS dates back to the adoption of the Constitution of 1784: the General Court beginning in 1784 and ending in 1785 was the 1st; each session was thereafter numbered consecutively on an annual basis (the legislators of both houses being elected for one-year terms) through the 95th, which ended in 1878; the 96th Legislature, the first for which both chambers were elected for two-year terms, was in session from 1879 thru 1880 and every New Hampshire General Court from then on has, therefore, been numbered on such a biennial basis). 14 September 2010 primary: 2 November 2010 |

"FEC" indicates the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Campaign Finance Summary. When available, we post each candidate's FEC identification number, the date of their most recently filed Report of Receipts and Disbursements, their "Tot" [Total Receipts (contributions received or what came in: FEC Form 3, Line 16, Column B)] and their "Dsb" [Total Disbursements (expenditures or what was spent: FEC Form 3, Line 23, Column B)]. A link is provided to the Federal Election Commission's Summary Report for those who might wish to explore the details. If a candidate raises or spends $5,000 or less, he or she is not subject to FEC reporting requirements. |
