Welcome to the Voters First 2024 Election Guide.
Welcome to our 2024 Voters First guide to your New Hampshire first-in-the-nation primary. The next president will have no shortage of challenges to contend with — worldwide and at home. We know New Hampshire voters will take their role seriously and, having done their research, will select the candidate they feel best capable of fulfilling this most important role.
Hyperbole always surrounds elections. 2024 is no different. You have no doubt heard that “Democracy is on the ballot.” Well, democracy isn’t on the ballot, democracy is the ballot. Every election gives us choices.
Media, both mainstream and social, have been telling us for years now that the 2024 presidential matchup is a foregone conclusion. Don’t believe them. 2024 is an open field with dozens of candidates across both major party ballots. If your chosen candidate is one of our last two presidents, then by all means cast your ballot for them. But don’t think it’s a done deal. The New Hampshire primary has often been the beginning of major surprises and upsets. Take a look through the pages of this section, do your research, and cast the ballot of your choosing.
Voting is one of our great rights and responsibilities. We know most Granite Staters take this responsibility seriously. Our readers certainly do.
