US President

The President of the United States is elected every four years on the first Tuesday of November. This vote takes place nationwide. The means of choosing candidates from each political party for that general election varies from state to state. In New Hampshire, candidates are chosen through party primary elections. These are held several months before the general election, with the exact date varying from year to year. Traditionally, New Hampshire has set its primary date before that of any other state, making it the "first in the nation" primary.
