==Procedure==
The New Hampshire primary is a "semi-closed" primary, in that both registered Democrats and undeclared or "independent" voters can cast a ballot, but not those voters who are registered as [[Republicans]] or members of another party. The state has relatively lax requirements for a candidate to appear on the ballot--only the payment of a $1,000 fee is required--hence, a total of 33 candidates will officially take part in the primary.
On the day of the election, polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, although only the thirteen designated cities in the state will be allowed to remain open until 8:00 p.m.; in all other localities, polls close at 7:00 p.m. [[New Hampshire]] will be represented by a total of 33 delegates at the DNC in July, of which nine are unpledged to any candidate and will include the state's four representatives in Congress and five DNC members. The remaining 24 will be pledged to the candidates on a proportional basis in accordance with the results of the election. These 24 delegates are further subdivided into three equal groups: eight for each of the state's two congressional districts (16 total), and eight for the state at large. Delegate pledging is determined according to the primary vote statewide as well as in each district.
As is true in all Democratic presidential primaries, a candidate must receive at least 15% of the vote on either the district or state level to be awarded any delegates.<ref>https://www.thegreenpapers.com/P20/NH-D</ref>
