CONCORD, N.H. — Nearly 41,000 people registered to vote at New Hampshire’s polling places on the day of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, helping to boost the total number of registered voters in the state to nearly 1.02 million, an all-time high.
New voter registration numbers released by the Secretary of State on Thursday shows that registered Democrats now outnumber registered Republicans, while the largest voting bloc remains undeclared voters. The Secretary of State’s records show it is the first time since 2010 that Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state.
Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Thursday the registration numbers will decrease in the coming months as local election officials purge the checklist files to remove the names of people who have relocated to another state or another New Hampshire community but remain on the checklist of their original city or town.

-- 1,018,783 registered voters in the state, slightly more than the 1,009,004 reported after the November 2018 midterm election.
