Reader:  I would like to get more information about the upcoming primary.  Do you know how I could find out how many new voters plan to participate in the primary this year?  And also, if I could compare this number to comparable stats from previous presidential elections? 

Lisa:  I would check with the St. Anselm Institute of Politics in Manchester.  I believe they keep track of Primary statistics.  I'm not sure that they can tell you how many voters plan to vote in the Primary, but they might have conducted polls to project figures like that.  But if anyone would have this sort of information, it would be the St. Anselm Institute of Politics.

Here is a link to the Institute:  http://www.anselm.edu/nhiop/
