Join us when the Granite State Democracy Tour stops in Laconia! See the knitted New Hampshire State House created by many NH citizens. Talk with community experts who have a deep knowledge of elections, representation, and the legislative process.

Take your knowledge of civics to a new level with presentations that address questions like: 

How does the process of setting up districts for elections minimize or increase polarization among the citizenry?

How do the structures of primary elections shape the type of candidates who go on to hold office?

What is happening now in the NH Legislature on elections and voting?

What is a Citizen Assembly? What did the first-ever statewide citizen assembly (here in NH!) conclude when seeking policy answers to polarization?

Engage in conversations with the speakers and connect with fellow citizens passionate about democracy.

Drop in and stay as long as you like. Participate in a craft activity. Refreshments provided.
