New Hampshire voters will decide on a constitutional amendment in November 2026 to remove outdated references to the register of probate from the state constitution. The measure, introduced by Republican Rep. Dennis Mannion, follows a similar failed attempt in 2022 that did not meet the required two-thirds approval threshold.
