The voter registration bill signed into law on Sept. 12 WAS NOT IN EFFECT for the November election, but will be for municipal elections in 2025.
People with visual 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.
The League’s “legislative alerts” about bills being heard in New Hampshire are posted on our “Issues & Actions” page. They are sent via email to members and those who request them. Ask to get on our list via our “contact us” page.

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.
