Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I doubt I could be more proud of you. Fully 52% of registered voters have
voted early in-person or by mail…ALREADY….in the middle of a pandemic.
There’s one more day to vote in person, this Tuesday, November 3rd, in
person, at the State Election. Election Day will be held at Hanover High
School, 287 Cedar Street. All four precincts vote in this one location.
Wear a mask, plan to social distance and wait in line. Polls are open from
7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Those of you who have waited for the big day…this
is it! Can we break our current record of 86% turnout?!? I’ll be “bustin’
my buttons” if so!
Have a Vote by Mail ballot and haven’t turned it in yet? Don’t worry, you
are not alone (there are 600 of you) and not out of luck. Drop it off to
the Town of Hanover ballot drop box, located in front of Hanover Town Hall,
by 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday 11/3 and your ballot will be counted. Or, although
this is not recommended at this point, get it snail-mail postmarked by 11/3
and received in the Town Clerk’s Office by 11/6, and it will be counted.
Sent in your Vote by Mail ballot and want to make sure it will be counted?
Go to www.trackmyballotma.com and follow the directions to see where your
ballot is and/or if it has been “accepted”. That’s the magic word that
means “yes, my vote will be counted on Tuesday”. Despite my reluctance to
vote early, I broke down and did so in-person on Thursday and just checked
– I’ve been accepted. How about you?
The Town Clerk’s Office will close at noon on Monday, November 2nd to
prepare for the election. The office will be closed for regular business
on Tuesday, but the phones will be answered by a skeleton crew for
election-related questions and drop-box pick-up!
This is it, Hanover! Democracy wins only if you show up – one way or the
other. Let’s be proud of us…together, in the middle of a pandemic, no
less!
