New Hampshire's 2026 Midterm Elections

While Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte won re-election Tuesday, the balance of power in the State House shifted in the direction of Democrats.

Democrats are poised to have a strong majority in the upcoming Congress. The final numbers are still being determined. Here's where things stand in the races that are waiting to be called by the AP.

New Hampshire Executive Councilor Joe Kenney, a five-term Republican, said he owes it to his supporters to have every vote counted before he concedes the race to his Democratic challenger, Luz Bay.

Shaheen spoke to NHPR about her priorities: ending the Iran war, rolling back tariffs, Medicare for All, government accountability and more.

While Secretary of State David Scanlan says he will seek another term, Democrats will have the votes to replace him — if they choose.

The NH Attorney General received 277 calls to its Election Day hotline. None of them, apparently, involved complaints about Rob Gronkowski.

New Hampshire voters were asked to remove a defunct Register of Probate job from the state Constitution. A two-thirds majority was needed for passage, and it came up short on Election Day.

Under the cap, local school property taxes cannot grow beyond the prior year's amount, adjusted for inflation and new construction.

Vote counting in the governor’s race stretched deep into the night Tuesday. Shortly before midnight, Ayotte addressed a roomful of supporters at Tuscan Village in Salem and urged them to be patient — and hopeful.

The ballot for every New Hampshire city and town this year asked voters if they want to limit increases to their school property taxes to the adjusted rate of inflation, plus the value of new construction.
