Derry residents vote at the polling place designated by the town for their voting district. Derry’s current election information identifies Pinkerton Academy at 5 Pinkerton Street as the polling location for Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Town Clerk’s page lists State Primary voting there from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on September 8.



Eligible Derry residents may register before the election through the Town Clerk or supervisors of the checklist. New Hampshire also permits qualified residents to register at the polls on Election Day.



Use <a href="https://tpaction.com/Vote">TPAction.com/Vote to check your voter information</a> as an initial step. Then confirm your official checklist status, voting district, polling place, and required documents with the Derry Town Clerk.

A qualified resident whose name is not on the checklist may register at the polls on September 8 or November 3.

Where Derry Residents Vote in 2026

New Hampshire voters are required to show qualifying proof of identity when voting in person.

Bring Photo Identification to Vote

New Hampshire’s State Primary is September 8, 2026. Your party registration affects which ballot you may receive.

Review Your Party Status Before the Primary

Election workers will direct voters to the correct district check-in area.



The process generally includes:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Identifying your voting district</li>



<li>Giving the election worker your name</li>



<li>Confirming your domicile address</li>



<li>Presenting qualifying photo identification</li>



<li>Receiving the ballot assigned to your district</li>



<li>Marking the ballot privately</li>



<li>Reviewing your selections</li>



<li>Casting the completed ballot</li>
</ul>



A voter who is not listed on the checklist should ask for registration assistance. Do not leave before speaking with the supervisors of the checklist about the process available to qualified Derry residents.



Allow extra time during busy periods. Pinkerton Academy serves all four districts under the town’s current plan, so traffic, parking, and check-in activity may be heavier before work and during the evening.

What to Expect at Pinkerton Academy

New Hampshire does not provide unrestricted absentee voting to every voter. A Derry resident must meet a reason authorized by law.

Absentee Voting Is Available for Qualifying Reasons

A New Hampshire law effective September 30, 2025, requires absentee-ballot applicants to verify their identity before a ballot is issued.

Absentee Applicants Must Complete Identity Verification

A Derry absentee ballot must return to the Derry Town Clerk. It should not be sent to Rockingham County, another town hall, or a campaign organization.
