State Treasurers
Part 2, Article 67 of the New Hampshire Constitution establishes the position
of the Treasurer of the State of New Hampshire. In accordance
with the Constitution, the Treasurer is elected by a joint session
of the Senate and the House of Representatives (the General
Court). This election takes place on the first Wednesday of
December following the biennial election when the new General
Court meets for organizational purposes. Upon the death, resignation,
or removal of the treasurer, the Governor, with the advice of
the council, shall appoint some suitable person as commissioner
to take charge of the money, books and papers in the office,
and to perform all the duties of treasurer until a treasurer
is elected and qualified. In colonial periods the treasurer
was appointed by the chief executive and frequently the same
man was secretary of the province and treasurer. The following
is a list of the treasurers in the state's history, and the term
of office each served.
