Context of the 2018 election

Party control in New Hampshire

A state government trifecta is a term that describes single-party government, when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature in a state government. Democrats in New Hampshire held a state government trifecta for four years between 1992 and 2017. During that same period of time, Republicans held a trifecta for eight years.

In elections between the 1990s and 2016, New Hampshire leaned Republican at the state legislative level but leaned Democratic at the statewide and presidential levels. Between 1992 and 2017, Republicans controlled the Senate for a total of 20 years, while Democrats held the chamber for a total of five years. In 2011, Republicans retook the state Senate, after previously holding the chamber from 1992 to 1998 and 2001 to 2006. Similar to the Senate, Republicans held the state House for a total of 20 years between 1992 and 2017. Democrats only held the chamber for six years throughout that same period of time. During the 2006, 2010, and 2014 elections, the state House went through massive partisan swings. Democrats overcame a 98-seat Republican majority in the 2006 elections before Republicans rebounded in the 2010 elections. Republicans overcame a 40-seat majority in 2014 to retake control of the chamber.

Democrats controlled the governor's office for 18 years between 1992 and 2016. Republican Chris Sununu was elected to the office in 2016. Prior to Sununu's election in 2016, Republicans had only held the governor's office for seven years between 1992 and 2016. Sununu's victory made the state a Republican trifecta, meaning Republicans controlled both chambers of the legislature and the governor's mansion.

Voter information

How the primary works

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New Hampshire uses a semi-closed primary system. Unaffiliated voters may vote in the primary, but in order to do so, they have to choose a party before voting. This changes their status from unaffiliated to affiliated with that party unless they fill out a card to return to undeclared status.

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Poll times

In New Hampshire, polling place hours of operation vary. According to state law, polling places must be open between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Localities may set their own polling hours as long as they are open during those hours prescribed by state law. To search for the hours your polling place is open, click here.

Registration requirements

Check your voter registration status here.

To register to vote in New Hampshire, each applicant must provide documentary proof of United States citizenship, be a resident of New Hampshire, and at least 18 years old by the next election. Individuals may register to vote at the local clerk's office, with the community's supervisors of the checklist or registrar of voters, or at the polling place on the day of the election. Applicants must fill out a voter registration form and either show proof of identity and citizenship or sign an affidavit witnessed by an election official. Absentee registration is allowed for those who are “unable to register in person because of physical disability, religious beliefs, military service, or because of temporary absence.” Absentee registration requires mailing a voter registration form and witnessed absentee voter registration affidavit to the local clerk.

Automatic registration

New Hampshire does not practice automatic voter registration.

Online registration

See also: Online voter registration

New Hampshire does not permit online voter registration.

Same-day registration

New Hampshire allows same-day voter registration.

Residency requirements

In New Hampshire, citizens can register to vote the day they move to the state.

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

New Hampshire requires voters to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, as of June 2025. Gov. Chris Sununu (R) signed HB 1569 into law on September 17, 2024. The legislation required voter registration applicants to provide one of the following at the time of registration: "birth certificate, passport, naturalization papers if the applicant is a naturalized citizen, or any other reasonable documentation which indicates the applicant is a United States citizen."

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment. Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. One state, Ohio, requires proof of citizenship only when registering to vote at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles facility. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.

Verifying your registration

The New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office allows residents to check their voter registration status online by visiting this website.

Voter ID requirements

New Hampshire requires voters to present photo identification while voting.

The following list of accepted ID was current as of October 2025. Click here for the New Hampshire Secretary of State page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

“

Driver’s license issued by any state or federal government; Non-driver ID card issued by NH DMV or motor vehicle agency of another state; Photo ID card for “voting identification only” issued by NH DMV; United States armed services identification card; United States passport or passcard; NH student ID card (Dated within the past 5 years. Must be from a school on the approval list provided to the Secretary of State each year by the Department of Education.)

”

Additionally, a moderator or other election official may verify the voter’s identity.

A voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting purposes by presenting a voucher from their local clerk or the New Hampshire Secretary of State to any New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles office that issues identification.

Early voting

New Hampshire does not permit early voting.

Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.

Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.

Absentee voting

A voter is eligible to vote absentee in an election if he or she cannot make it to the polls on Election Day for one of the following reasons:

• The voter will be absent from his or her polling location on the day of the election.
• The voter is unable to visit the polls because of the observance of a religious commitment.
• The voter is unable to visit the polls because of a physical disability.
• The voter is unable to visit the polls because of an employment obligation.
• The voter is unable to visit the polls due to military service.

There is no specific deadline to apply for an absentee ballot. The completed ballot must be returned either in person by 5:00 p.m. the day before the election or by mail. If returned by mail, the ballot must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Election Day. A voter must include a photocopy of a valid photo identification or a notarized signature with the absentee ballot application. Voters may also present photo identification at a town clerk’s office to request an absentee ballot.
