CONWAY — Today is state primary day, when New Hampshire voters will head to the polls and decide who gets to be their party nominee for state and county offices.
With several contested races, Conway Town Clerk Louise Inkell is hoping for a good turnout. “On average of the last three state primaries, it would be around 1,500; however, I would not be surprised it we were closer to 2,000 total” this time around, she said.
