RI and NH Hold Key Primary Elections Today

Rhode Island and New Hampshire are holding critical primary elections today, with voters deciding on several key local and statewide positions. In Rhode Island, notable races include the Democratic primary challenge against Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and the highly contested Cranston mayoral primary. New Hampshire's primary is particularly competitive due to the open gubernatorial seat and 2nd Congressional District, with top candidates Kelly Ayotte and Chuck Morse vying for the Republican nomination, and Joyce Craig and Cinde Warmington leading the Democratic race. Both states' elections will set the stage for intense general election campaigns with just eight weeks until November 5. Voters in both states can find their polling locations and sample ballots online, and same-day voter registration is available in New Hampshire.
