Concord, NH – Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announces the results of the Attorney General’s General Election Day Operations which took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

Tuesday’s successful election was the result of extraordinary efforts of thousands of local election officials. The primary role of the Attorney General’s Office is to support and assist these election officials.

A team of more than 100 attorneys, investigators, staff from the Attorney General's Office, the Secretary of State's Office and other state agencies deployed to polling locations across the state. This team covered 305 of New Hampshire’s 307 polling places, approximately 99%. Each inspector completed a detailed checklist and worked with local election officials to resolve any issues that may have been identified.

The Attorney General’s Election Hotline received approximately 275 calls during the day Tuesday. Each call was assigned to an attorney for resolution of the issue identified. The majority of issues were resolved on Tuesday by working directly with local election officials.

During the 2018 General Election, 98% of New Hampshire’s polling places or 302 out of 309 total locations were inspected and 185 unique calls were received during the November 6, 2018 election. In the 2016 General Election, approximately 76% of all polling locations were inspected.

The following state agencies provided personnel who assisted our efforts:

The Commission for Human Rights, the Public Utilities Commission, the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification, the Department of Environmental Resources, and the Banking Department. The Department of Safety, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the Emergency Operations Center and the Joint Information Center provided support throughout the day. The office also worked closely with Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies including the New Hampshire State Police.

The Attorney General’s General Election Day Operations were led by Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Chong Yen, Chief Investigator Richard Tracy and Paralegal Jill Tekin of the Election Law Unit as well as Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards.
