Bill Gardner is the current Secretary Of State in the State of New Hampshire and the longest serving state level Secretary of State in US History. He is in charge of the department that oversees all general elections, primary elections, voter registration and recounts within the state, including the New Hampshire Primary . He began his life in New Hampshire politics as a state representative and was elected Secretary of State in 1976. He has been kept in office by both Democrats and Republicans governors. In New Hampshire the Secretary of State is elected by the Legislature. Gardner has taken the lead in New Hampshire's policy towards "100% Paper Ballot" elections, in contrast to some states that use computerized voting systems without "real world" paper records of each vote. A strong supporter of New Hampshire's standing as the 'first in the nation' primary state, Gardner wrote ''Why New Hampshire'' with the late former Governor Hugh Gregg in October of 2003, detailing the history and significance of the New Hampshire Primary. He also appears in '' Winning New Hampshire '', released in 2004. EXTERNAL LINKS |
