City Charter



The City's Charter implements the home rule powers recognized under the New Hampshire Constitution. A city's charter provides a vehicle for a municipality to adopt a form of government that best addresses local needs. Manchester's City Charter includes election, budgetary and other procedures relating to its form of government.

Manchester's City Charter was approved by the electorate on November 5, 1996.
