Election laws and history

edit

The city of Manchester, New Hampshire, held its first mayoral election in 1846.[1][2]

The city's mayoral elections are currently are nonpartisan, a change which was adopted before the 1997 election. While, prior to 1997, elections had long been partisan, there had been stretches previous to 1999 in which the city's mayoral elections had been nonpartisan, including the stretch of four elections held from 1953 through 1959.[3]

Under current election laws, to be eligible to be elected mayor, one must be a resident of the city for at least one year prior to filing for the office of mayor.[citation needed]

Elections throughout the 20th century have been for two-years terms, as has been the case in the city since the 1880 election.[citation needed]

There are no term limits.[citation needed]
