Voters head to the polls in New Hampshire to cast their ballots in the presidential election.

The winner receives the state’s four electoral votes. The polling stations close at 8:00 PM local time.

State meaning

The New England state generally leans blue and chose President Joe Biden in 2020 by 59,000 votes, or about 7%.

But in 2016, the margin between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton was much smaller. Clinton won the state by 0.4% and almost 3,000 votes.

In a down vote, the candidates will compete for two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Forecasters predict Democrats are likely to win these races as both parties battle for control of the House.

Counties are colored red or blue when the percentage of expected votes reaches a certain threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on patterns of past voting reporting and expectations of how the voting will report this year.
