office for the Annual Town Election scheduled to be held May 12th, 2018.
“Election Day is set for May 12th and signed nomination papers are due
March 26th, 2018. We’ve had several very early inquiries in this office
about the timing of our local elections. The advance interest is
definitely unusual. I hope that translates to an exciting spring election
season!” said Harder-Bernier.
On the ballot this spring will be elections for two members of the Board of
Selectmen for a three year term each, two members of the School Committee

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.
Interested residents are encouraged to contact the Town Clerk’s Office,
any of the related departments, or sitting members of the board or
committee they are interested in becoming a part of in order to gain more
information about an open position.
To run for office, candidates only need to obtain 50 signatures of
registered Hanover voters in order to be placed on the ballot. Candidates
for office have until Monday, March 26th to submit the signed nomination
papers to the Registrar’s Office for signature certification. Attached
