Why Voting Matters
Voting is how Rockingham County residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for Rockingham County voters is New Hampshire's presidential primary, set by state law for March 14, 2028 unless the Secretary of State chooses an earlier date; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. With retail and health care among the county's biggest employers, issues like local businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.
Rockingham County voters cast about 202,000 ballots for president in 2024, up about 2% from 199,000 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 266,000 adult residents, that works out to about 76%, above the statewide rate of about 71%.
That means roughly 63,800 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Rockingham County would add about 3,190 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
