CONCORD — Secretary of State Dave Scanlan said a new law that allows town meeting voting to be postponed two weeks during weather emergencies was used in about 77 precincts Tuesday as a Nor’easter swept through the state.
It took out power in Weare and a few other polling places, but things were mainly quiet, Scanlan said.
