Concord, NH – Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announces the results of the Attorney General's Presidential Primary Election Day Operations which took place on Tuesday, February 11, 2020.

A team of more than 50 attorneys, investigators, and staff from the Attorney General's Office and the Secretary of State's Office were deployed, covering 100% of New Hampshire's 309 polling places. Each inspector completed a detailed checklist after working with local election officials to resolve any issues that may have been identified.

The Attorney General's Election Hotline received 163 calls during the day Tuesday. Each call was assigned to an attorney for resolution of the issue identified. The vast majority of issues were resolved on Tuesday by working directly with local election officials.
