1794 United States House of Representatives election in New Hampshire
(Redirected from United States House of Representatives election in New Hampshire, 1794)
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.
