politics elections lawmakers political parties

New Hampshire voters headed to the polls Tuesday to cast their votes in the state's primaries ahead of the November elections. Voters are choosing candidates for governor, Congress, and the 424-seat state Legislature, with several familiar names appearing on the ballot.

Both Democrats and Republicans are targeting the Senate seat that will be vacated by Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who is retiring at the end of her term next year.

The race carries significant stakes for the control of the upper chamber. While New Hampshire has not elected a Republican Senator in 16 years, Democrats are now at risk of losing the seat to the scion of a political dynasty.
