An especially large number of people showed up at Manchester's Beech Street School to register before voting.
New Hampshire is one of only a few states that allow same-day registration.
NHPR Correspondent Ellen Grimm reports.
At ten-thirty this morning, eight people were waiting in line at the same-day registration table at the Beech Street School polling place in Manchester.
Several more people were seated before the registrars, displaying their identification materials - passports, drivers licenses, and bills with mailing addresses.
Jeff Michaelson is the Ward 5 moderator.
The turnout has been such that in order to accomodate this overflow of people we've had to take one of our normal poll workers and deputize him as a deputy registrar, in order to accomodate the number of people that are showing up to do that.
Michaelson said he expects high turnout throughout the day. After only several hours, he said, they'd seen more than half as many people as they'd seen all day during last fall's municipal elections.
