The 1976 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary was held on February 24, 1976, in New Hampshire as one of the Democratic Party's statewide nomination contests ahead of the 1976 United States presidential election.
The first-in-the-nation primary was won in an upset by political outsider and Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter, who would later go on to win the nomination and the presidency.[1] Finishing behind Carter in a narrow second place was Arizona Representative Mo Udall, followed by Birch Bayh, Fred Harris, Sargent Shriver, and Hubert Humphrey (who was not actively running).[2]
