2022 New Hampshire Primary State Representative Races To Be Recounted

CONCORD, NH — Ten primary races will be recounted in Concord at the state archives building after very tight results in all of the races.

On Monday and Tuesday, officials from the secretary of state’s office and candidates will be on-hand starting at 9 a.m.

At 10 a.m. on Monday, the Rockingham 21 Democrat primary, which covers Ward 1 in Portsmouth and Newington, will be recounted. Robin Vogt bested Jackie Cali-Pitts by nine votes, according to unofficial results.

At 9 a.m. on Tuesday, the Rockingham 35 Republican race, covering Londonderry and Windham, will also be recounted. According to the unofficial returns, Julius Soti holds a three-vote lead over Roger Fillio.

At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, the Rockingham 17 Republican seat will be recounted. Unofficial returns show a 36-vote difference between fourth-place finisher Katelyn Kuttab, who was expected to advance to the final, and fifth-place finisher Cynthia Finn.

Recounts will also take place for Hillsborough 20 and 21 in Manchester; Grafton 3 in Easton, Lincoln, Livermore, and Woodstock; Strafford 10 in Durham; Belknap 2 in Meredith; Hillsborough 45 in Brookline, Greenville, Hollis, and Mason, as well as Belknap County Sheriff’s primary.

Recounts in 2020 led to the discovery of an anomaly with ballots in Windham, an analysis of AccuVote voting machines and ballots, and a new audit implemented in the state last week, too.
