1 Session for Correction; Cities. Amend RSA 654:27 to read as follows:
654:27 Session for Correction. In cities and towns, the supervisors of the checklist shall be in session for the correction of the checklist at some suitable place in the city or town on the Saturday 10 days prior to the election and upon which all hearings shall be finally closed; provided that if the Saturday falls on a holiday weekend, that session shall be held on Tuesday, 7 days prior to the election, between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and at the discretion of the supervisors for extended hours. Wards in cities may hold the session in a single, central location with one supervisor from each ward required to be present.

The reconvening of any session which has been adjourned shall not require the publication of notice.
