According to Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the Carsey School, New Hampshires population has changed significantly since 2016. Almost 20% of 2020 primary voters did not live in New Hampshire or were not old enough to vote four years ago. Johnson also states that the largest groupÌıof migrants to New Hampshire are from Massachusetts.

Changing Population Could Effect NH Primary

According to Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the Carsey School, New Hampshire is one of the most mobile states in the country.ÌıFrom 2016 to 2020, nearly 70,000 residents turned 18 and became eligible to vote, while 46,000 older residents died. During the same period, about 160,000 voting-age adults moved into the state, and about 150,000 moved out. AÌıÂé¶¹app Survey Center poll shows thatÌıboth young residents and recent migrants are less likely to identify themselves as conservative than established residents are.Ìı
