The 2024 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary was held on January 23,2024,as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. The January New Hampshire primary was not sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The DNC-approved 2024 calendar placed the South Carolina primary first,but New Hampshire state law mandates them to hold the first primary in the country,and a "bipartisan group of state politicians",including the chairs of the Democratic and the Republican parties,announced that the state would preserve this status. Thus,the DNC initially stripped all 33 of the state's delegates that would have been allocated to the Democratic National Convention. The delegates will be allowed to be seated at the convention following the holding of a party-backed firehouse primary on April 27.
In 2023,various special elections were held throughout the year in New Hampshire, mostly to the state's House of Representatives. At 400 members,the state house is the largest state legislative body in the United States,and the fourth largest lower house in the English-speaking world. As members are only paid $100 per year plus travel costs,turnover tends to be frequent,as members resign or die mid-term,resulting in a special election to replace them. According to the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire,if there is a vacancy in the New Hampshire General Court,a special election must be called to fill the vacant seat within 21 days of receiving proof of a vacancy or a request that a vacancy be filled.
