At 400 members,the state house is the largest state legislative body in the United States,and the fourth largest lower house in the English-speaking world. As members are only paid $100 per year plus travel costs,turnover tends to be frequent,as members resign or die mid-term,resulting in a special election to replace them. According to the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire,if there is a vacancy in the New Hampshire General Court,a special election must called to fill the vacant seat within 21 days of receiving proof of a vacancy or a request that a vacancy be filled.
