New Hampshire seats scoreboard

Unofficial

Unofficial results. Unofficial, not yet certified: Secretary of State workbook tallies that clerks can amend. “Leads” means ahead in the unofficial count, never a call.

As of , unofficial, per the Secretary of State’s 2026 general election results workbooks (saved November 9, 2026) (sos.nh.gov): 235 New Hampshire contests are loaded. In the unofficial count, Statewide (7 contests): Republicans lead 1, Democrats lead 6; U.S. House (2 contests): Republicans lead 0, Democrats lead 2; State Senate (24 contests): Republicans lead 9, Democrats lead 15; State House (202 contests): Republicans lead 48, Democrats lead 143, others lead 1. A lead is not a call.

Pick an office on the left and a filter on top. Every contest is one row, set against the same seat in 2022 and 2024. Everyone sees the statewide contests and the five closest seats in each chamber; Pro opens every district.

Unofficial tallies, subject to change if town clerks submit amendments. Nothing is called.
  • Unofficial tallies, subject to change if town clerks submit amendments, and not certified. Nothing is called; “leads” means ahead in the unofficial count.
  • State House: 399 of 400 seats are shown. Grafton district 9 is left out because its printed total (1,152) disagrees with the sum of its towns (1,240); we do not repair a file that does not add up.
  • A multi-member district elects several members and each voter may vote for up to that many candidates, so it has no single margin. The Leads column shows how the leading candidates divide (for example “2 R, 1 D”); a tie for the last seat reads “Tied for last seat” and counts for no party. F marks a floterial district, which overlies other districts. Seat tiles count districts, not the 400 seats. A district with no more candidates than seats is unopposed.
  • The Executive Council districts are listed with the statewide contests. County offices (sheriff, attorney, treasurer, commissioners and others, including 7 commissioner districts with no election) are stored but not shown. Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and State Senate rows compare with 2022 and 2024 from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a secondary source that we have not checked against the Secretary of State’s results; Executive Council and State House rows have no earlier numbers loaded and read “Not available yet”.

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.

Sources and method

  • 2026: the Secretary of State’s 2026 general election results workbooks (saved November 9, 2026), read Mon, 09 Nov 2026 08:21:55 GMT. Secretary of State 2026 general election results (checksum 003c6964d7fe)
  • 2022 and 2024: the MIT Election Data and Science Lab’s precinct returns for 2022 and 2024, summed to counties and districts here (a secondary source, not checked against the state canvass), summed over each district’s counties. 2022 (checksum 6f50ab9884c6) 2024 (checksum c867ecc11624)
  • District maps: Not drawn yet: there are no State House or State Senate outlines for New Hampshire on this page. The county outlines are U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (public domain).
  • Which seats appear: every district the Secretary of State’s workbooks list for 2026, except Grafton State House district 9 (the printed total disagrees with its towns, so it is left out). The board has Governor and U.S. Senate, the five Executive Council districts, the two U.S. House districts, all 24 State Senate districts and 202 of the 203 State House districts. Questions 1 and 2 and the county offices are not on it.
  • Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
  • District lines: New Hampshire has 2 U.S. House districts, 24 State Senate districts, 5 Executive Council districts and 203 State House districts electing 400 members, some of them multi-member and some floterial. Whether the lines changed for 2026 has not been confirmed (news reports say the U.S. House lines are unchanged), so U.S. House and State Senate seats are compared with 2022 and 2024 on the assumption that the lines are the same (secondary source, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab).
