Town hall numbers reach all-time low in 2024
Posted by Caleb Mynatt on Feb. 24, 2025
The frequency of town hall events continued to trend sharply downward last year.

There were only 1018 town hall events in 2024, the lowest number of events for a year since LegiStorm started tracking town hall data. By comparison, the 2024 total was 53.4% lower than the combined average of 2317 events per year for all years LegiStorm has complete data. This marks the third consecutive year that town halls have dipped below 2000 total events.

Prior to 2022, the average number of town hall events per year was 2685. Even 2020, which was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, had 2756 town hall events despite only 16% of them taking place in person. The current year is, at this time, on pace to outdo 2024 in total town hall events, but will not come close to reaching the baseline of a minimum of 2000 total events that existed prior to 2022.

While one party typically outdoes the other in any given year, it's largely dictated by who controls Congress. Democrats hosted more events from 2019 to 2023, while Republicans led from 2014 to 2018. In both instances, the party that hosted more town hall events had control of the House of Representatives.
