When does the bulk of the New Hampshire voting start?
Is it an all day thing? I know some precincts vote at midnight, but what about the majority of the state?

Is it like Iowa where polls open at a certain time or is it all day or what?

1. Most of the polling places will open at 8am and close at 7pm
There could be some in the large cities like Manchester that will close at 8, especially if the predicted big turn out occurs.

2. Nashua will be open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Peak rushes occur in the morning and early evening
and, to a lesser degree, lunchtime.

3. Hope this helps
A couple of microtowns in the North Country actually vote at midnight. They generate a lot of media hoopla, but inevitably seem to vote for the weirdest candidate on the ballot (I'll bet a round of cold frosties that Ron Paul carries Dixville Notch).

The two largest cities, Manchester and Nashua, open at 6 AM. Most communities open by 8 AM.

Most polls close at 7 PM, but there are some very large communities (Nashua, Derry, Merrimack, to name three) that remain open until 8. These are also very volatile areas with enormous amounts of independent voters.
