  • June 17, 2026 : Wednesday, 5 pm. Public invited to Jackson NH Public Library, 52 Main St:

    In the past three years the New Hampshire legislature has passed a series of election law bills that directly affect voters. They include new requirements for voter registration, stricter limits on photo IDs that must be used to get a ballot, and more documentation needed for those who vote absentee. The new laws now in effect will be explained and questions answered by Liz Tentarelli, president of the non-partisan League of Women Voters of New Hampshire. Everyone can be a voting ambassador by learning more about these laws, and then sharing information with neighbors so they too can vote.

  • September 8, 2026 : Tuesday. State/federal primary. Check your own town's website for polling hours and locations. Reminder: you must show a government-issued photo ID to get a ballot. That could be a driver's license, a non-driver photo ID, or a passport or military ID.
