Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover Town Clerk Cathy Harder-Bernier encouraged her fellow citizens to
become more involved in town by running for elected office. “Ten
candidates have pulled nomination papers to date for the fourteen total
seats available,” said Harder-Bernier. “The deadline to pull papers is
the first day of spring, Thursday, March 20th, at 5:00 p.m. My office will
be open late and I will look forward to walking people through the initial
steps of the process,” she added.
On the ballot this May will be elections for two members of the Board of
Selectmen for a three year term each, two members of the School Committee
for a three year term each, three members of the Housing Authority (one
term for five years, one term for four years, and one term for three
years), two members of the Board of Assessors (one for a three year term
and one for one year), one member of the Planning Board for a five year
term, one Board of Health member for a three year term, one member of the
Board of Public Works for a three year term, one Trustee of the Public
Library for a three year term and one Moderator for a one year term.
“Running for elected office was one of the highlights of my years of
service to Hanover, and I heartily encourage others to follow suit,” said
Harder-Bernier. “It’s not as daunting as one may think initially; in
fact, it’s a lot of fun. Collecting 50 signatures of registered voters
on nomination papers is all that is needed to get the ball rolling. Both
newcomers and long-time community volunteers are encouraged and welcomed to
run for office,” explained Harder-Bernier.
Election Day in Hanover is May 10th and the last day to register to vote is
April 15th. For more information about the election process and related
deadlines, please contact Hanover Town Clerk Cathy Harder-Bernier or
Assistant Town Clerk JoAnne O’Connor at (781) 826-5000 x1079 or by e-mail
