As of July 3, 2025, two state legislative special elections are scheduled to be held in the U.S. state of New Hampshire during the 2025–2026 legislative session. Both elections are for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. At 400 members, the state house is the largest state legislative body in the United States, and the fourth largest lower house in the English-speaking world. As members are only paid $100 per year plus travel costs, turnover tends to be frequent, as members resign or die mid-term, resulting in a special election to replace them. According to the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, if there is a vacancy in the New Hampshire General Court, a special election must be called to fill the vacant seat within 21 days of receiving proof of a vacancy or a request that a vacancy be filled. Nine special elections were called during the 2023–2024 session, five in 2023 and four in 2024.
