The nonpartisan League of Women Voters explains it all in their recent bulletin for voters which includes a listing of candidates in each district and helpful voting instructions for absentee ballots etc.

NH primary, absentee voting, and education funding

Reminder that if you are an "undeclared" voter, you may choose a ballot for Republican or for Democrat candidates. If you're already registered with a party, that's the ballot you'll be given. All voters should bring a photo ID if possible, to speed the process for everyone. Don't have a photo ID?
