New Hampshire Voter Rights & Information
New Hampshire makes it easy for every citizen to cast a ballot and vote in primary and general elections. According to state law, New Hampshire residents who will be 18 years of age or older on the day of the next election, and a United States Citizen, may register with the supervisors of the checklist or the town or city clerk where they live up to 10 days before any election. You may also register on election day at the polling place. The supervisors of the checklist or your local town or city clerk’s office can provide voters with what proofs of qualification they should bring to register. Ask us about NH or share your comments.

Changing Political Party Affiliation in New Hampshire
If you are a party member and wish to change your registration status you better plan in advance. To initiate such a change take one of the following steps:
State Primary
If you are a registered member of a party, you may change your registration at any primary, however, you will not be allowed to vote in that primary. Undeclared voters may declare a party and vote at any primary. The law allows an undeclared voter to declare a party at the polls, vote the ballot of that party, and then change their party affiliation back to undeclared simply by completing the form available from the Supervisors of the Checklist at the polling place.
The two parties; Republican and Democratic makeup most of the voters here. Many New Hampshire residents are registered as Independents and many others disregard party affiliation to vote for a favorite candidate. This has made for some surprising upsets in the New Hampshire elections. Like most New Englanders, many New Hampshire residents tend to be wary of polls and pollsters. Many New Hampshire residents prefer to keep their political views and ideas to themselves. The first voting in New Hampshire takes place in the small, northern town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.
The New Hampshire North Country – or Great North Woods – is the area north of the White Mountains that tends to be much more politically conservative than the southern tier of the state.
