relating to qualifications for office. Providing that candidates of the office of governor, state senator, and state representative shall be citizens of the United States.

This constitutional amendment (CACR 14) would require all candidates for governor, state senator, and state representative to be U.S. citizens, amending Articles 14, 29, and 42 of New Hampshire's Constitution. It directly affects individuals seeking these three statewide and legislative offices by adding explicit U.S. citizenship as a qualification. The bill proposes to update the constitution's language to clarify this requirement, which currently exists in varying forms but would be uniformly stated for all three offices. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2026 general election to take effect. This is a procedural change to constitutional qualifications, not a new policy affecting current officeholders.
