New Hampshire's Presidential Primary - New Hampshire Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The text on this marker reads "Since 1920, New Hampshire has held its presidential primary election at least seven days before any other state. Changes in New Hampshire law in 1952 made the primary a direct selection of presidential candidates, not a mere choice of delegates pledged to specific contenders. Held in February or March, the New Hampshire primary has become a critical first stop on the road to the White House. Taking their responsibility seriously, New Hampshire voters test candidates during the months leading to the primary and have ususally favored the candidate who ultimately attains the Oval Office."

This marker sits in front of the New Hampshire State Library, directly across the street from the State Capitol building. The State Capitol Historical Marker can be found about a block to the east.
