New
Hampshire's Presidential Primary
Since
1920, New Hampshire has held its presidential primary election
before any other state. Changes in New Hampshire law in
1949
made the primary a direct selection of presidential aspirants, not a
mere choice of delegates pledged to specific nominees.
Held
in February or March, during the week preceding any similar election
elsewhere, the New Hampshire primary has become a
critical
first step on the road to the White House. Taking their responsibility
seriously, New Hampshire voters test contenders during
the
months leading to the primary and have usually favored the candidate
who ultimately attains the Oval Office.
