Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Annual Town Election of our local officers begins this coming Saturday,
May 7th, at 8:00 a.m. at Hanover High School’s gymnasium.
On the ballot this year are 10 open seats: Board of Assessors (3 year
term), Board of Health (3 year term), Board of Public Works (3 year term),
Board of Selectmen (3 year term), Moderator (1 year term), Planning Board
(5 year term), Planning Board (3 year term), School Committee (3 year
term), Town Clerk (3 year term), and Trustee of the Public Library (3 year
term).
There are declared candidates running for 7 of those seats; three seats
(Assessors, Health, and 3 year Planning Board) will therefore be determined
by write-in votes. There are two contested races – School Committee and
Board of Selectmen – each have two candidates running.
For a complete listing of the seats available and the candidates running
for those seats, go to:
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/sites/hanoverma/files/file/file/town_election_2016_candidates.pdf
. Further information about the candidates may be made available in this
space later this week if I receive it by Tuesday at 4 p.m. The Hanover
Woman’s Club Junior’s Candidate’s Night continues to be re-broadcast
regularly on Hanover Community Access TV. The schedule may be found here:
http://hanoverctv.org/schedule.htm .
Polls close at 6:00 p.m. Saturday night. Unofficial results are always
announced outside the gym within a half hour of the close of the polls.
If you will be out of town and need an absentee ballot, your application
has to be received in the Town Clerk’s Office by noon on Friday the 6th.
For more information, please contact me, Town Clerk Catherine
Harder-Bernier, at clerk@hanover-ma.gov, or my office at (781) 826-5000
x1079.
See you Saturday!
