Town elections March 10 for most NH towns.
Correction to the legislative alert for Feb. 9-13: Here is the correct link for House remote testimony and sign-in: https://gc.nh.gov/house/committees/remotetestimony/default.aspx
Not registered yet? If you live in one of the towns holding local elections in March, remember to bring your proof of ID, age, citizenship and where you live so you can register at your polling place. Even better, register in advance at your town clerk’s office.
New law now in effect … Absentee Voting will require showing an ID to the city clerk when you request a ballot, or having your signature notarized on your absentee ballot application, or sending a photocopy of your ID with your application. You must do ONE of these things to get an absentee ballot.
Visit our Voting Info page for more about voter registration and getting an absentee ballot for upcoming elections. Here is a one-page flier with condensed info. Feel free to download and distribute through spring 2026. Click here for the pdf.
People with visual and writing disabilities can vote independently at all NH polling places using the “one4all” accessible voting equipment. Anyone may use that machine to cast a ballot. This video explains how it works.
If you are ever denied your right to vote or see a problem at the polls, immediately call the NH Attorney General’s toll-free hotline. 1-866-868-3703

The League's Mission
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation of citizens in government. The League influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or any candidate.
Our mission slogan is Empowering Voters and Defending Democracy.
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.
- Voter service and citizen education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues of public policy. This includes publicizing and organizing candidate forums. See our Candidate Forums page.
- Action and advocacy: we are always nonpartisan in our advocacy work. After study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.
Our Work
In New Hampshire we advocate for voting rights and other issues in the Legislature.
We also do Get Out The Vote work in the months leading up to elections, including organizing candidate forums.
Membership dues and donations fund our work.
We have no paid staff or lobbyists in New Hampshire—we are all volunteers committed to the League’s mission.
