With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and, in turn, the loss of the federal constitutional right to abortion, the future of abortion access in New Hampshire depends upon the state legislature. Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund (“PPNHAF”) compiled five key votes on reproductive rights bills, allowing members of the public to better understand where their state representatives stand on reproductive rights and abortion access.

  • Two representatives, who were elected in a special election, made the PP100 list as they voted in support of reproductive rights and health care every opportunity they had.
• 6 representatives scored 100% but were absent for at least three of the five votes. They are not represented in the PP100 list.
• 185 representatives scored 0%, voting against reproductive rights and health care every time they cast a vote: 185 Republicans and 0 Democrats.
  • Of those, 9 representatives only had 2 votes cast.
• 9 representatives scored between 40% and 80%: 2 Democrats, 1 Independent, and 6 Republicans. One Democrat miscast a vote and noted it with the House Clerk. The score of 80% reflects the vote cast.

​​​​​The Scored Votes

To learn more about each of the five scored votes, visit the 2025 and 2026 Legislative Issues' pages. You can also visit the individual pages for each vote, which includes a list of the representatives who voted for and against the bill:

1. NH Family Planning Program- HB 2 amendment
2. Provider refusal- HB 232
3. Repeal of the NH patient safety zone - HB 1313
4. Shielding anti-abortion centers - HB 1416
5. Targeting abortion providers - HB 232

Scoring Methodology

• This year, PPNHAF calculates a representative’s score by dividing the number of pro-reproductive rights and health votes during the most recent biennium by the total number of votes taken, excusing all absences. A supportive vote on the scorecard is shown in pink with white font. Representatives who cast at least three votes and scored 100% voted with PPNHAF on every vote they participated in. Their scores are in pink.
• Representatives who voted at least 4 times and in support of sexual and reproductive health care are listed on the PP100 list. Representatives who were elected in a special election, and voted in support of reproductive rights every time they had the opportunity, are also included on the PP100 list.
• Representatives who missed at least three votes, but voted with PPNHAF every time, are marked with "100%, limited votes." 
• A few representatives noted with the House Clerk that they voted incorrectly, which is marked on the scorecard with a link to the House Journal clarifying their intended vote. The score reflects the vote cast.
• Representatives with only one vote cast do not have a percentage score; however, their individual votes are shown on the scorecard.
• Any recorded roll call votes by the full House are eligible to be scored; for additional bills that PPNHAF was invested in but not scored, please see the Frequently Asked Questions section below.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the information on the scorecard about each bill mean?
  • Here is a key to help explain the first vote on the scorecard:
    • HB 2: Bill number. "HB" stands for "House Bill"
    • Amd. 2025-1501h: Amendment number. This was an amendment proposed on the House floor.
    • Add NH Family Planning Program back into state budget: Summary of the vote
    • 174-196: Final vote on this motion: 174 representatives voted in support of the motion; 196 voted against. The motion failed, as a majority is required. 
    • 4/10/25: Date of the vote
    • PPNHAF = "Yea": Voting “Yea” on this motion is in support of reproductive rights and health care and PPNHAF’s position
• How do I find out who my state representative is?
  • On the General Court website, use the dropdown menu to select your town. The page will update to show your state representative(s) and state senator. Most Granite Staters have more than one state representative.
  • In New Hampshire, there are 400 state representatives who serve in the House of Representatives, which is one of two chambers of the Legislative Branch. State representatives draft, debate, and vote on legislation – around 1,000 bills a year. They are elected every two years, in even-numbered years; this fall, New Hampshire residents will have the next opportunity to vote for their state representatives. 
• Where is the information on this scorecard from?
  • All roll call votes can be found on the General Court’s website. You first search by year of the vote, then you can search by bill number, state representative’s name, or session date.
• How can I find out more about each of these bills?
  • See the links above under "The Scored Votes" for information about each bill. Additionally, you can visit PPNHAF’s 2026 Legislative Issues page.
  • To read the bill text itself, visit the General Court’s website and search by bill number.
• What does “OTPA” mean?
  • “OTP” stands for “Ought to Pass.” This is a motion made with the intent to pass the bill. "OTPA" stands for "Ought to Pass as Amended." All amendments for a bill – whether passed or not – can be found on the bill’s docket on the General Court’s website.
• What does “ITL” mean?
  • “ITL” stands for “Inexpedient to Legislate.”  This is a motion made with the intent to defeat a bill.
• I heard about other bills this session. Why aren’t they on here?
  • While every bill in New Hampshire receives a vote, not every bill has a roll call vote in the legislature – some votes are by voice vote (the side that is the loudest wins!) or by division vote (individual representatives are anonymous, but there is a number attributed to Yea and Nay).
  • All five roll call votes scored were either "Ought to Pass as Amended" or "Inexpedient to Legislate." Legislators casting votes either supported passing or stopping these bills based on these motions.
• Why are some votes listed as “excused” or “not voting/not excused”?
  • An “excused” absence is granted by the Speaker in advance of session. “Not voting/not excused” can have a variety of meanings, but simply means the legislator was not in their seat during the vote.
• Why did my state representative vote a certain way?
  • The only way to know why a state representative voted a certain way is to ask that person – and because there are 400 state representatives in New Hampshire, they are incredibly accessible! You can find their contact information on the General Court’s website. 
• How do I find out if my state representative is running for re-election in November 2026?
  • You can check the Secretary of State’s 2026 Election Details page to see who has filed to run. 
• I see my state representative was supportive but isn’t running for re-election. How do I learn more about who is running in my district? 
  • First, thank your representative for their commitment to public service and to reproductive health and rights! Being a New Hampshire state representative is a lot of work for almost no money ($100 per year). Find their contact information and say thanks! 
  • To learn more about who IS running in your district, check out the NH Secretary of State’s website and try finding them on social media to learn more about their campaign! 
• I see my state representative wasn’t supportive and is running for re-election. How do I learn more about who is running against them in my district?
  • First, reach out to them and let them know you are disappointed in their votes. They need to hear from their constituents. 
  • To learn more about who IS running in your district, check out the NH Secretary of State’s website and try finding them on social media to learn more about their campaign! 
• Why aren’t state senators listed on this scorecard?
  • This scorecard focuses exclusively on the House. The NH Senate Scorecard is available here for 2026.
• Who should I contact if I have additional questions?
  • Email any additional questions to [email protected] with the subject “2026 House Scorecard.”
