Note: Although this measure gathered more "yes" votes, it did not pass because New Hampshire requires that an amendment receive greater than two-thirds of the vote to be approved.
Vote counts conducted after the election indicated that the amendment had been approved. However, a recount held on November 23 and 24, 1970 showed that the question did not receive the required two-thirds vote and the amendment was defeated .[2]
