1788–1789 United States House of Representatives election in New Hampshire
Two ballot decision
New Hampshire law required a winning candidate to receive votes from a majority of voters (16.7% of votes). No candidate won such a majority on the first ballot, so a second ballot was held February 2, 1789.
