State officials predict 591,000 voters will turn out for the election Tuesday, surpassing the midterm record first set in 2018.
As of last week, the state of New Hampshire had 833,035 registered voters, including 278,681 Democrats, 276,035 Republicans and 328,320 undeclared voters.
“We have several hotly contested races at the top of the ballot, and this is generating a lot of enthusiasm among voters to participate in the election,” said New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan in a news release sent Monday.
Several of those contested races are too close to predict, according to a survey conducted by the University of New Hampshire’s Survey Center.
Based on the poll, which was completed by 2,257 registered voters last week, incumbent Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan and her Republican opponent, retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc were tied on Monday as were incumbent Chris Pappas and his Republican opponent Karoline Leavitt for the First Congressional District.
Additionally, in the Second Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Annie Kuster holds a small lead over Republican Robert Burns. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu continues to lead Democrat Tom Sherman by double-digits, the survey showed.
