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.

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 may be able to supply a moderator, if requested. We are also able to train moderators and have a zoom training scheduled for January 32, 2024, via zoom. (Send us an email if you are interested in becoming a forum moderator.)
