New Hampshire results by county
Unofficial
Unofficial results. Unofficial, not yet certified: these are the Secretary of State’s workbook tallies of the returns clerks have reported. Clerks can submit amendments, and the canvass and any recount can change the counts. We replace this note once New Hampshire certifies.
As of , unofficial, per the Secretary of State’s 2026 general election results workbooks (saved November 9, 2026) (sos.nh.gov): In the Governor race, Kelly Ayotte leads Cinde Warmington 51.4% to 47.0% with 10 of 10 counties listed. 2 contests are loaded (Governor, U.S. Senate).
Pick a race on the left, a column on top, and select any county for its numbers.
- The Secretary of State’s page says tallies reflect the returns clerks have reported and are subject to change if clerks submit amendments. They are not certified, and the canvass or a recount can change them. The page prints no as-of date; the workbooks print November 03, 2026 (election day) and we saved them on November 9.
- Counties are sums of the town returns. For U.S. Senate, Merrimack County’s own file and the summary sheet differ by one vote for Chris Pappas (41,829 against 41,830); we use the summary figure.
- Ballots cast (turnout) is not shown: the Secretary of State’s ballots-cast file covers 8 of 10 counties and does not add up in Hillsborough or Merrimack, so nothing is estimated.
- Questions 1 and 2 (constitutional amendment and HB 1300) are stored but not on this page, which compares party margins. History for 2022 and 2024 is from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a secondary source that we have not checked against the Secretary of State’s results (the state’s site refuses scripted requests): Governor and U.S. Senate by county.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the Secretary of State’s unofficial workbook tallies saved November 9, 2026, not certified. See the state page.

- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes cast in the county. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the election you compare with. A shift compares shares, so a county can move even when its winner does not change. Different offices and turnout levels differ, so read it as a pattern, not a prediction.
