How does New Hampshire's primary work?
New Hampshire holds semi-closed party primaries, scheduled for September 8, 2026. Registered Democrats and Republicans vote in their own party's primary, while undeclared voters may choose either party's ballot at the polls and can return to undeclared status before leaving the polling place. The highest vote-getter wins each nomination outright, with no runoff.
Why is the 2026 New Hampshire Governor race important?
New Hampshire is one of only two states electing governors every two years, and in 2026 it is one of just two Republican-held governorships on the ballot in a state Kamala Harris carried in 2024. Kelly Ayotte's bid for a second term, opposite a contested Democratic primary, makes it a closely watched test of the state's swing reputation.
