Election-related question, but not political : )

<p>My local newspaper already is reporting NH primary results. How? It says two precincts are reporting, but aren’t precincts required to remain open until 7 p.m. or some later time? Are precincts that small in NH that they know all eligible voters have voted?</p>

<p>Just curious …</p>

<p>Two very small towns in New Hampshire have a tradition where all eligible voters go to the polls to vote at midnight. They are always reported as soon as all the voters are done.</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>There are large parts of NH with a lot of nothing but trees and a few people.</p>
