ORIGINAL STORY: Salem voters will be heading to the polls today from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to decide several important elections, from President of the United States down to Rockingham County offices and everything in between.

Below we've set up our charts to fill in once we get the results, which given the expected turnout volume may not be for several hours after the polls close.

UPDATE, 4:30 p.m.: Town Moderator Chris Goodnow gave a rough estimate that 10,000 people had already voted in Salem today as part of a huge turnout for the general election.

Long lines have been the story of the day as voters have waited more than an hour to cast ballots in particular at Fisk Elementary School and the Ingram Senior Center.

"The people in lines have been showing great patience," said Goodnow.

He believes the town should have enough ballots to get through the rest of the evening. Goodnow said the state Secretary of State's office gave the town 18,000 ballots for the day.

The polls are slated to close at 7 p.m., but Goodnow said that is a situation he plans to monitor closely.

Patch also caught up with Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne at the polls in Salem this afternoon.

UPDATE, 2:15 p.m.: Check out our mid-day election report. Election officials are Salem are anticipating a 70 percent turnout. Add your own photos from the day if you have them.
