Voters rejected allowing them to serve until they are 75

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s requirement that judges retire at age 70 will remain in place after voters rejected allowing them to serve until they are 75. Voters were asked Tuesday whether they favored amending the age limit set by the state constitution in 1792. According to totals reported by the secretary of state, about 65% agreed, just shy of the two-thirds majority necessary for passage. Mandatory retirement ages for judges vary widely across the country. Maine has no upper age limit, while in Massachusetts, it is 70, and in Vermont, it’s 90.
