Primary History: New Hampshire
First-in-the-Nation: A Proud New Hampshire Tradition.
No state has a richer, deeper, or longer political identity and tradition than New Hampshire, home of the premier political event in the United States -- the quadrennial first-in-the-nation presidential primary. From the time of its first European settlement in the 17th century, this small state has led the way in participatory government. Today, New Hampshire holds more statewide and local elections more often than any other state in the U.S., providing easy ballot access by voter registration on election days. Traditionally, New Hampshire ranks among the states with the highest voter turnout in national elections. And New Hampshire voters have a reputation for both focusing on issues of national interest and picking winners!
