Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced today that the
Massachusetts State Legislature has extended the pandemic-based Vote by
Mail period throughout the spring of 2021. Accordingly, any registered
Hanover voter who is taking precautions related to COVID-19 in response to
the declared state of emergency or the guidance of a medical professional,
local or state health official or any civil authority may apply for a Vote
by Mail ballot in the May 8, 2021 Annual Town Election beginning today.
The 2021 Vote by Mail application is found here:

. Applications may be filed at any time up until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May
4th. Vote by Mail ballots will be mailed beginning in mid-April to those
voters with applications on file.
“The legislature recognized that there are still thousands of
unvaccinated or partially immunized Hanover residents who may still wish to
take precautions and Vote by Mail in the spring Annual Town Election”
said Hanover Town Clerk Harder-Bernier. “That being said, I look forward
to a robust in-person turnout now that some restrictions are easing and
many Hanoverians are becoming fully vaccinated. This legislation provides
two alternatives given the on-going pandemic”, she said.
Vote by Mail applications may be mailed to the Hanover Town Clerk’s
Office at 550 Hanover Street in Hanover via US Mail, deposited into the
front door mail slot of Town Hall during non-Town Hall hours, or dropped
off to the Town Clerk’s Office during Town Hall hours. The secure ballot
drop box for returned ballots will re-open in mid-April. For more
information, please contact the Town Clerk’s Office at (781) 826-5000
x1079 or clerk.staff@hanover-ma.gov .
