A primary election was held in many districts on September 13, 2022. The election coincided with the election of the other house of the General Court, the New Hampshire Senate, and other elections.
Democrats gained 12 seats, decreasing the Republican majority to a narrow 201 out of 400 seats. Results showed a near-tied House, with the deciding seat coming down to Manchester Ward 6, initially reported to have been won by Republican Larry Gagne by 23 votes. Due to the extraordinarily close margin of the victory, a series of recounts and legal challenges have followed, leaving the state of the race uncertain. Democrat Maxine Mosley was elected by 1 vote after a recount. This cut the GOP majority to four seats. This individual race gained national attention, due to both its close nature and its pivotal role in deciding control of the state House.
