2020 presidential candidates eyeing New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary.
The second floor of the historic New Hampshire State House in Concord, New Hampshire, is home to a small, quiet office with a few people answering the phones and pictures of the previous presidential candidates who had filed to be on the New Hampshire primary ballot over the past several decades hanging on the walls.
Gardner, who has been the state's secretary of state since 1976, said that every U.S. president has won at least one New Hampshire primary since Dwight D. Eisenhower won the 1952 primary. Richard Nixon won the primary three times. Much like the process in 2015, this election cycle's candidates will fill out their paperwork at the desk of Stephen A. Bullock, the New Hampshire legislator who sponsored the original measure that established the state's primary. The desk was donated by Bullock’s family and is usually housed at the New Hampshire archives building just over a mile from the state house.The Bullock desk has arrived at the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office.
In 1975, New Hampshire passed a law requiring the New Hampshire primary to be the first in the nation. The law states that New Hampshire’s primary “shall be held on the second Tuesday in March or on a date selected by the secretary of state which is 7 days or more immediately preceding the date on which any other state shall hold a similar election, whichever is earlier, of each year when a president of the United States is to be elected or the year previous.
Once a date and time is arranged, the public won’t be able to find the calendar online. That information is only available by stopping by, or calling the office to find out when candidates are scheduled to stop by. The office writes the appointments in pencil on a printed out calendar.
