Rock the Vote in New Hampshire

Young voters made history in Iowa last week with record turnout to the caucuses. Defying all expectations, 17-29 year olds tripled their numbers at the caucuses and made the country sit up and take notice.

Now it’s New Hampshire's turn. The N.H. presidential primaries are on Tuesday, January 8th. Get out and vote, and make sure your friends do the same. Here’s how:

Show Up: In New Hampshire, any resident 18 years of age or older can vote in the presidential primaries. If you’re not yet registered to vote, you can show up and register at the polls on Tuesday. Just bring your ID to show proof of age, residence, and citizenship.

Find Your Polling Place: Not sure where to go on Tuesday? Click here to find your polling place and its hours of operation.

Pick Your Primary: New Hampshire voters who are not registered with a political party may vote in either primary (more info). Voters who are registered as Democrats may vote in the Democratic primary; voters registered as Republicans may vote in the Republican primary.

Make Your Choice: Check out the sample Democratic and Republican ballots and, to read up on the candidates, see CNN’s 2008 Election Center or the New York Times’ Election Guide 2008.

Tell Your Friends: Click here for a sample email you can send to your friends, reminding them to vote on Tuesday. Send an email to ten of your friends right now. Then, on Election Day, text message those same ten and remind them to get to the polls.
