Dear fellow Hanoverians:
As you surely know by now, Election Day is this Tuesday, November 6th.
Polls in Hanover are open from 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Hanover High
School, 287 Cedar Street. It is one of our most important civic duties
to vote – see you there!
A sample state ballot may be found here:
http://www.wheredoivotema.com/bal/BallotOut.aspx?btcode=ST&ctcode=122&wno=0&prno=1
. This is not an official valid ballot, but will give you a good idea
of what to expect when you arrive at the polls. You are encouraged to
become familiar with the three ballot questions before Election Day as
they are rather lengthy and could cause lines at the polls.
Massachusetts allows voters to vote by absentee ballot if they:
· will be absent from town on election day, and/or
· have a physical disability that prevents your voting at the polling
place, and/or
· cannot vote at the polls due to religious beliefs.
Although the deadline to apply for absentee ballots is *noon the day
before the election,* the Secretary of the Commonwealth highly
recommends submitting the application as soon as practicable. The
completed ballot must be received by the local election officials
before the end of polling on Election Day. Go to
http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleifv/howabs.htm
for more information.
The Hanover Cultural Council will be fundraising for the 2013 Hanover
Day celebration fireworks and expanded music offerings when you arrive
at the high school on Election Day. Please give them your support.
Don’t forget the Woman’s Club, Juniors bake sale that day, too!
See you at the polls!
