Citizens Count

A nonprofit organization

Citizens Count is a nonprofit that provides the people of New Hampshire with the tools and information they need to make a difference. We make it easy to learn what's happening with key issues, from gun rights and school curriculum to minimum wage and renewable energy. We research and profile every candidate for state or federal office in the Granite State.  We build connections between people and their elected officials, helping them share their story and make an impact. We do it all without any bias or agenda, because we believe that democracy works best when we all have a seat at the table.   

This year, to thank our donors, Citizens Count is offering the opportunity to win two suite tickets to a Red Sox game at Fenway park! Now through 5pm on June 11, every $50 online donation to Citizens Count will earn the donor one entry into our raffle for Red Sox tickets. The winner will receive two tickets in a suite at Fenway Park for the August 3rd, 11:35am game between the Red Sox and the Houston Astros. Click here to read more detailed Terms & Conditi
