The Democrats of the Town of Hanover and Lyme, New Hampshire are committed to organizing voter turnout, engaging residents in programs about a wide range of current issues, working to elect strong Democrats up and down the ticket, and providing a voice for residents of Hanover, Etna, and Lyme in Concord and in Washington, DC.  We are also members of the Upper Valley Democrats, a collaboration of 5 towns that work together to promote the values of a strong, socially, and racially just democracy.

Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. At present, meetings are held online using Zoom. Contact Deb Nelson for information.

We welcome contributions to our ActBlue account which has been used to send a sample ballot to all democrats and independents, to purchase yard signs, to support local candidates, and to facilitate activism.
