Whether you’re a seasoned adult or a school-age future voter, you’ll learn something when the Granite State Democracy Tour stops in Concord. See the knitted New Hampshire State House created by many NH citizens. Hear presentations about the electoral process and its impact on legislation.

Listen to authors read from their books about school children who visit city hall and the U.S. Congress.

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

What makes New Hampshire’s form of government unique?

What’s involved in running a town or city? How are decisions made in the community?

How has Congress changed or remained the same since the country’s founding?

How does redistricting impact the way our representatives respond to citizens’ wishes? Should Granite Staters care about distortions in redistricting in other parts of the country?

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 family-friendly craft activity. Refreshments will be provided.
