The department of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire is in charge of all elections within the state of New Hampshire, named after its director, New Hampshire's Secretary of State.

Located down the hallway from the Governor's Office (Also known as the Corner Office) on the second floor of the New Hampshire State Capitol in Concord, the main job of the Secretary of State's office (locally known as the "SoS") is assisting individual precincts throughout the state meet state required guidelines on elections as well as certifying all state and federal elections and primaries which occur in the state, as detailed in NH RSA Title LXIII.

The SoS Department also acts as a resource for citizens curious in regards to the inner workings of how elections work in New Hampshire, as well as an impartial governmental accounting body for internal government issues, such as ethics.

The Secretary of State is elected by secret ballot in the State Legislature's Organizing Convention, occurring on the first Wednesday of December in state election years.[1]

Currently, the state's Secretary of State is Bill Gardner.
