New Hampshire, like the rest of the nation, is expecting record voter turnout next Tuesday. There are nearly 900,000 registered voters so far and more are bound to register on Election Day at the polls. State officials are urging residents to show up as early as possible because of the expected crowds. Most polling stations will be open from 8:00AM to 7:00PM. A few small towns will have polls open at 11:00AM.
Sample ballots for both congressional districts in the state may be found at : http://www.sos.nh.gov/general2008.htm

Still haven’t registered? Not sure if you are registered? The following information was provided by NH officials :
People who are qualified as voters and who plan to vote on Tuesday November 4, 2008, but have not yet registered to vote should:
Go to the polling place in the town or city ward where the person is domiciled, that is the one place where they sleep most nights of the year.
Bring proof of the person’s qualifications as a voter including:
• Proof of Identity – A photo driver’s license or other government issued photo identification will make registering faster and easier.
• Proof of Age – A state issued driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, or other government issued form are typical forms of proof of age.
• Proof of Citizenship – A birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers. If the person does not have these documents with him or her it will be necessary to complete a citizenship affidavit, which will take additional time.
• Proof of Domicile – This is proof that you live at the address you are claiming as your voting address. A New Hampshire photo driver’s license or vehicle registration listing that address is presumptive proof. You may also prove domicile with other government issued documents or documents issued by a bank showing your address. If the person has no such documents with him or her, it will be necessary to complete a domicile affidavit, which will take additional time.
