A crew from Concord Public Properties was busy at The Barn at Bull Meadow on Bog Road Monday morning as the wedding and events venue was transformed into the Ward 2 polling location.

Multiple U.S. flags were installed inside and bright orange signs placed outside will help point voters in the right direction.

Polls will be open within the rustic setting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as voters select a new president – Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump – to down-ballot races for local positions. Concord voters also face decisions on two questions that could change the autonomy of the city’s school board.

Record turnout is anticipated, according to New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan, and the process could take some time due to some voters having to re-register — inactive voters’ names were removed from the checklist in 2021 following the 2020 census.
