2024 Elections
Choose a chamber below:

General elections for the New Hampshire House of Representatives took place on November 5, 2024. All 400 seats in 203 districts were up for election.

At the time of the election, Republicans held a 197-191 majority in the chamber, with one independent and 11 vacancies. Republicans controlled the House since 2021. Following the election, Republicans maintained a 222-178 majority. The state also maintained a Republican trifecta.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives has a combination of single-member legislative districts, where a district elects one representative, and multi-member legislative districts, where a district elects multiple representatives. The number of seats per district is determined by population.[1] Multi-member districts in New Hampshire use a bloc with partial abstention voting method, where voters receive as many votes as there are seats, can only vote for a candidate once, and can choose to not use all of their votes.

Before the election, Politico reported that the New Hampshire Legislature was one of the most likely to change partisan control in 2024.[2] Since 2010, the House had changed partisan control six times. According to NBC News, House Democrats campaigned on passing legislation to guarantee abortion access in the state, while House Republicans campaigned on addressing crime and drug use.[3]

Ballotpedia identified 57 battleground districts heading into the election. Twenty-seven of the battleground races were in single-member districts, with Democrats representing 13 and Republicans representing 14. Thirty of the battleground races were in multi-member districts, with Democrats representing two, Republicans representing 11, and 17 split between parties. Incumbents ran in 48 of these races, while the other nine were in open districts, meaning no incumbents ran. To read more about the battleground elections, click here.

Eight incumbents lost in primaries. Ninety-one incumbents did not seek re-election. To read more about incumbents who did not advance to the general election, click here.

New Hampshire was one of 23 states that had a Republican trifecta, since Republicans controlled the governorship and both legislative chambers. Ballotpedia identified New Hampshire's Republican trifecta as highly vulnerable. To read more about trifecta vulnerability in the 2024 elections, click here.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives was one of 85 state legislative chambers with elections in 2024 across 99 chambers throughout the country. The primaries were held on September 10, 2024.

Primary election competitiveness

See also: Primary election competitiveness in state and federal government, 2024

This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in New Hampshire. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in New Hampshire in 2024. Information below was calculated on August 19, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.


New Hampshire had 52 contested state legislative primaries on September 10, the fewest since Ballotpedia started tracking in 2010.

The 52 contested primaries amounted to 11.5% of all possible state legislative primaries. Ballotpedia defines a contested primary as one with more candidates than nominations available. 

There were 18 contested Democratic primaries and 34 contested Republican primaries. For Democrats, this was the fewest since 2012; for Republicans, this was the fewest since Ballotpedia began tracking. 

All 424 seats of the General Court had up for election, and 820 candidates ran in the primaries. Among them, there were 407 Democrats and 413 Republicans. For Democrats, this was the lowest turnout since 2014; for Republicans, it was the lowest turnout since Ballotpedia started tracking in 2010.

There were 328 incumbents running in the primaries. Among them, 89, or about 27.1%, were contested.

There were 96 open seats, including 92 in the House and four in the Senate. The average number of retirements from 2010 to 2022 was 106.7.

Heading into the 2024 elections, New Hampshire had a Republican trifecta. Republicans had a 14-10 majority in the Senate and a 197-194-1 majority in the House with eight vacancies. Since 1992, there had been 13 years of Republican trifectas and four years of Democratic trifectas in New Hampshire. 

Politico included New Hampshire on their list of five states “where Republicans and Democrats are waging the biggest battles for control of state legislatures.”[38]

Politico’s Liz Crampton wrote, “Control of the Legislature has switched back and forth between parties over the years, underscoring the opportunity for either party to sell voters on a different vision for policymaking. The open gubernatorial race — GOP Gov. Chris Sununu isn’t running for reelection — has the potential to drive out more voters in November, giving either party a coattails push.”[38]

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee included New Hampshire on its list of top states to protect or expand power. The Republican State Leadership Committee said New Hampshire was on their list of top states to defend.[39][40]


Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2010 to 2024.[41] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Open Seats in New Hampshire House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2024
Year Total seats Open seats Seats with incumbents running for re-election
2024 400 92 (23 percent) 308 (77 percent)
2022 400 118 (30 percent) 282 (70 percent)
2020 400 78 (20 percent) 322 (80 percent)
2018 400 103 (26 percent) 297 (74 percent)
2016 400 103 (26 percent) 297 (74 percent)
2014 400 93 (23 percent) 307 (77 percent)
2012 400 118 (30 percent) 282 (70 percent)
2010 400 93 (23 percent) 307 (77 percent)

Legislative referrals

See also: Legislative referral

A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.

As of the 2024 election, a 60% vote was required during one legislative session for the New Hampshire General Court to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 240 votes in the New Hampshire House of Representatives and 15 votes in the New Hampshire State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments did not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

In New Hampshire, an amendment needed to receive support from two-thirds (66.67%) of the votes cast on the measure.

At the time of the 2024 election, Republicans held a 14-10 majority in the Senate and a 199-194 majority in the House. Democrats needed to win five Senate seats and 46 House seats to be able to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes. Republicans needed to win one Senate seat and 41 House seats to have the same ability.

  7. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

  11. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
