Anybody that is domiciled in NH is a NH resident, see the voting regulations below. Summer residents are citizens of NH they day they arrive at their summer place, provided they are citizens of the US. The can also register to vote if they are domiciled within 10 days of an election.

They can also contact their state Representatives as NH citizens.

from http://www.sos.nh.gov/vote.htm
"WHO CAN REGISTER
New Hampshire residents who will be 18 years of age or older on election day, and a United States Citizen, may register with the town or city clerk where they live up to 10 days before any election. You may also register on election day at the polling place. The town clerk's office can inform voters of what proof of qualification they should bring to register.

There is no minimum period of time you are required to have lived in the state before being allowed to register. You may register as soon as you move into your new community."
