In 2004, the New Hampshire presidential primary was on the 4th Tuesday in January (January 27). On September 28, 2007, New Hampshire’s Secretary of State said the 2008 primary will be on the second Tuesday of January (January 8) or that it may be even earlier than that. The Secretary of State will probably finalize the date next month. He also said on September 28 that the deadline for candidates to file in New Hampshire’s presidential primaries is November 2.
