Candidate Forums and Debates

Upcoming candidate forums for local, state and federal offices. Events listed here are NOT all sponsored or moderated by the League of Women Voters. When we know who is moderating or hosting, we list that info. (Note: events are deleted after they occur unless they have been recorded for public access. We post the link when we have that information.) We do not post single candidate or one-party candidate meet & greets. However, leading up to the Sept. 8 primary, we will post single party forums if we have that information and if it seems they are open to all candidates of that party and to the public.

If you have information about an upcoming candidate forum in NH, please send the information for posting via email to the League president on our Contact Us page.

Training or Assistance Offered for Candidate Forum Organizers

If your civic club or organization is interested in organizing a candidates forum for local or state races in your community, the League of Women Voters New Hampshire is happy to work with you. With years of forum experience in our background, we have prepared a manual to make it easy for any civic group to organize and to run a forum. We offer free training, or if you have some experience and just want advice on a point or two, feel free to contact us. We can advise you on protocols. We will schedule a training (one for event organizers, one for moderators) for January 2026, via zoom. (Send us an email if you are interested in joining either training.) Email the League president via our Contact Us page.
