EAGLE TIMES STAFF
The First in the Nation Primary will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 23, and the 2024 slate of candidates can be viewed below.
In order to be on the ballot, a candidate must pay $1,000 to the NH Secretary of State during the filing period in October, as well as file a declaration of candidacy. Only registered Republicans or Democrats can run on the ballot in New Hampshire.
Since the October filing, a handful of candidates have suspended their candidacy, but that doesn’t remove them from the ballot.
On the Republican ticket, there are 24 candidates on the ballots, even though several have pulled out of the race.
While the Democratic ticket won’t result in delegates to the national convention this year, 21 candidates hope to be the winner of the New Hampshire Primary.
President Joe Biden isn’t among the Democratic candidates on the ballot, opting instead to start his bid to return to the White House in South Carolina. A write-in campaign is being run on his behalf.
For questions about where to vote, ask your town clerk or go to https://www.sos.nh.gov/elections/voters.
