New Hampshire residents are being encouraged to check their voter registration status ahead of upcoming elections, according to information provided by the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire.

Any U.S. citizen who is at least 18 years old and resides in the state has the constitutional right to vote. However, residents who have moved, changed their name or not voted recently may need to re-register. Even those who believe they are registered are advised to confirm their status, as voters can occasionally be removed from rolls without notice.

Voters can check their registration by visiting their local town or city clerk’s office or by using the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s online voter information lookup tool.

Under updated procedures effective June 2, 2026, residents may register to vote either in advance at their clerk’s office or on Election Day at their polling place. New Hampshire does not offer online voter registration.

To register, voters must provide proof of identity, age, residency and citizenship, such as a driver’s license, passport, utility bill or birth certificate.

When voting in person, a government-issued photo ID is required. Absentee voting remains available for those unable to appear at the polls due to illness, disability, work obligations, travel or religious reasons, though additional identification requirements for absentee ballots have been in place since 2025.

The League of Women Voters encourages residents to verify their registration early to avoid delays or complications on Election Day.

Epping, New Hampshire is getting a new Greek Restaurant in Brickyard Square and I can’t wait!  Bring on the Spanakopita!

The other day, my husband and I went to the Oven for pizza.  They have really good cauliflower crust pizza, so, that’s where I prefer to go for the ‘za.  We noticed that there is a big sign above one of the vacant spaces in the plaza that said, “The Great Greek.”  Oh, be still my beating heart.

Of course, I had to take a closer look.

When I looked up their website, I discovered that this is a chain of restaurants and this will be the 3rd location of the Great Greek in New Hampshire.  There are two others in Manchester and Salem.

There was writing on one of the windows that said, “Protein Shake, Energy Teas and Protein Coffee,” however that was from the former tenant.  I think it was a fitness place.  The Great Greek does not have any of that stuff listed on their menu.

That particular stretch of restaurants in Brickyard Square will give us a choice now of several different kinds of food:

There’s also Popovers across the parking lot that has an American menu with a cool bar and amazing desserts.
