changing references from "votes" to "ballots" in the laws regarding elections.

SB 212 updates election law terminology by replacing "votes" with "ballots" in specific sections of New Hampshire's election statutes (RSA 659:88 and 659:91-a). It does not change any substantive requirements for write-in nominations or vote thresholds - candidates still need 35 write-in ballots or 10% of total ballots cast to qualify. The bill directly affects election administrators and candidates navigating primary election rules, ensuring consistent language in legal references. This is a purely terminological adjustment with no policy impact, as the 35-ballot or 10% requirements remain unchanged. The bill became law on June 17, 2025, after passing both chambers and receiving gubernatorial approval.
