Note: New Hampshire constitutional amendments require a YES vote of 66.7% in order to pass.

1984 - Statewide - Question 7Are you in favor of amending the Constitution to provide that, in order to commit a person in a criminal insanity proceeding, the state must establish that the person is potentially dangerous to himself or to others and suffers from a mental disorder by a standard of "clear and convincing evidence" only, rather than by the current, stricter standard of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt"? (Passed by a vote of 297 Yes, 35 No)
