First in the Nation: Celebrating 100 years of the Presidential Primary Wednesday February 17, 2016 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM
The 2016 presidential election is approaching, and New Hampshire is front and center as the home of the first-in-the-nation primary.
As things begin to heat up on the national political front, Neil Levesque, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, has been prominently featured in television specials and quoted in articles as an expert on the New Hampshire presidential primary. Levesque also serves as Chairman of the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Centennial Anniversary Commission which is tasked with encouraging, planning and coordinating appropriate events and activities commemorating the 100th anniversary of the New Hampshire presidential primary. First held on March 14, 1916, laws were changed in 1949 to make the primary a way to directly select candidates rather than delegates, and thereby increase voter turnout. In the decades since this change, the New Hampshire primary has become a cornerstone of presidential elections. Join us for Mr. Levesque’s engaging and fascinating talk on the history and significance of the NH primary and get the inside scoop on the issues and personalities in the current race for the White House.
This event will be held at the Milford Town Hall. Please use the entrance on Middle Street and take the elevator to the 3rd floor.
