Fact check: What is the number of registered democrats and repub;licans and independednts in NH?
1. Summary of the results
Based on the available data, New Hampshire voter registration numbers vary depending on the date of measurement, showing significant fluctuations over time.
The most recent data from August 5, 2025, shows 272,316 registered Democrats, 321,650 registered Republicans, and 378,549 Undeclared voters out of 972,515 total registered voters [1]. This represents a notable shift from earlier data points.
For comparison, data from November 20, 2023, showed a much closer race with 303,060 Democrats (30.28%), 298,470 Republicans (29.82%), and 399,395 Unaffiliated voters (39.90%) out of 1,000,925 registered voters [2].
By October 2024, Republicans had gained a significant advantage, with Republicans having 38,415 more registered voters than Democrats, while Undeclared voters comprised 37% of the rolls [3].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original question lacks important temporal context - voter registration numbers are highly dynamic and change frequently, especially during election cycles. The data shows dramatic shifts between measurement periods that aren't captured in a simple numerical request.
Key missing context includes:
- The 49,334 increase in Republican registration between November 2023 and August 2025 [1] [2]
- The 30,744 decrease in Democratic registration during the same period [1] [2]
- The 20,846 decrease in Undeclared/Independent voters [1] [2]
- The 28,410 decrease in total registered voters between these periods [1] [2]
Political parties and campaign organizations benefit from emphasizing registration numbers that favor their narrative - Republicans would highlight their recent gains, while Democrats might reference periods when they held advantages. Election officials and media outlets benefit from presenting the most current data to maintain credibility.
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question contains no inherent misinformation but demonstrates a common misconception that voter registration numbers are static. The question asks for "the number" as if there's a single, unchanging answer, when registration data fluctuates continuously.
The spelling error ("repub;licans" and "independednts") suggests the question may have been asked hastily without considering the complexity of obtaining accurate, current data. This could lead to accepting outdated information if not properly contextualized with measurement dates.
The failure to specify a time frame is problematic because presenting any single set of numbers without temporal context could be misleading, given the substantial changes shown across the different data points provided by the sources.
