1794_United_States_House_of_Representatives_election_in_New_Hampshire Knowpia

Three of the four New Hampshire incumbents were re-elected.

Under New Hampshire law a majority of voters (12.5% of votes) was required for election. Only three candidates achieved a majority, and so a run-off election was held for the fourth seat.
