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

1980 - Statewide - Question 2Are you in favor of amending the Constitution by removing certain obsolete provisions and rewriting them as follows:

(a) In Article 27, Part First, to allow "civil authorities" rather than "civil magistrates" to quarter troops in homes in times of war, subject to the control of the legislature?

(b) In Article 43, Part Second, to eliminate "infectious distemper" as a reason for the governor to convene the legislature at a different place?

(c) In Article 95, Part Second, to provide that all full-time, active duty members of the armed services shall be ineligible to be governor, governor's councilor, state senator or state representative and removing the provision that military officers receiving compensation for military service shall be ineligible for those offices?
