New Hampshire · statutory question · on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The ballot wording, in the state’s own words, each read the same way for rhetorical techniques. We don’t recommend a vote.

“Shall the [name of municipality] limit property tax growth for [name(s) of school district(s)] under RSA 32:5-i? If adopted for a two-year period:
(1) the local property tax levy may not grow beyond the prior year’s amount, adjusted for inflation and new construction; (2) SAU central office spending may not exceed 6 percent of total school district appropriations; and (3) bonded capital costs are excluded from both limits.
These caps apply only to administrative operations of the SAU central office and do not affect classroom instruction, school-based services, or other municipal expenditures. These limits may be overridden as provided in RSA 32:5-i. Adoption requires a three-fifths (3/5) majority vote.”
Each town’s ballot fills in its own name and its school district. Votes are added up across all the towns and wards a school district serves (and, for the central-office cap, its school administrative unit); a limit takes effect where three-fifths of those voters approve.

Committees registered to support or oppose Question 2, and what they reported to New Hampshire Secretary of State Campaign Finance System (cfs.sos.nh.gov). Checked 2026-10-21.
Before comparing the sides: each committee’s figures come from its own latest report, so they can cover different dates. Some committees work on more than one measure or other campaigns, and their totals include all of it. A side with no registered committee can still have supporters. How much a side raised says nothing about whether the measure is a good idea.

A rhetorical technique is about wording, not about whether a measure is a good idea or an argument is true. Ballot wording is written under each state’s own rules, and official arguments by the people the state names. All New Hampshire measures →
