Since 2025 the state has limited what towns can require of new housing, including detached accessory dwelling units by right and caps on parking rules. Which is closest to your view?

Give zoning power back to towns

The state Supreme Court ruled in 2025 that state aid for public schools is too low to pay for an adequate education. How should the state respond? Pick up to two.

Raise state adequacy aid
Pay for it with a new broad-based tax
Pay for it by cutting other state spending
Rewrite the law's definition of an adequate education
Leave school costs to local property taxes

A proposal to give New Hampshire an anti-SLAPP law, letting a judge end early a lawsuit filed to punish someone for speaking on a public issue.

New Hampshire has no anti-SLAPP law. House bills in 2024 (HB 1475) and 2025 (HB 391) failed, and the state Supreme Court's justices raised constitutional objections to a 1994 version.

How Your Voice works

Who answers. New Hampshire residents verified through their GSR profile, by a postcard code mailed to an N.H. address or an encrypted ID check. Verification proves residency, not citizenship. Verified officeholders answer too, counted apart from residents.
One vote, secret ballot. The site keeps a one-way mark that an account voted, so it cannot vote twice, and a running count for each answer and county. Nothing connects the two. A vote cannot be changed.
Small numbers stay hidden. No result appears until 5 residents answer, and no county or officeholder split appears for a group under 5, so nobody can work out how a neighbor voted.
Opt-in, not scientific. Results show what the verified residents who chose to answer think, not New Hampshire as a whole. Each result shows which counties answered against the 2020 Census adult population, and a county-balanced figure once enough of the state has answered.
Officeholders on the record. A verified officeholder may publish their own answer under their name and seat. Officeholder totals stay separate from resident totals.
Issues and bills only. No polls on candidates or parties.
Free data. Free to reuse with credit to Granite State Report. Each poll has a CSV and JSON download once its results are public, and a printable brief.
Nothing leaves the site. Voice sends no answers and no account data to any outside service.
