Have to have an excuse to apply for an absentee ballot – applications

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that absentee ballot
applications are available now in the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office for all
voters living in Hanover wishing to vote by absentee ballot in the Annual
Town Election. The election will be held Saturday, May 7, 2022.

Please note! The “no-excuse absentee voting” emergency law provision,
also known as “early voting”, that was enacted during COVID-19 has
expired. By law, you can only vote absentee or early with an excuse for
this election.

Absentee ballot applications are for use by registered voters who are
unable to vote at the polls on Election Day due to:
1) Absence from the Town of Hanover during normal polling hours (8:00 a.m.
– 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 7th); or
2) Physical disability preventing you from going to the polling place; or
3) Religious belief;

OR they are for use by
Non-registered voters who are:
1) A Massachusetts citizen absent from the state; or
2) An active member of the armed forces or merchant marines, their spouse
or dependent; or
3) A person confined in a correctional facility or a jail, except if by
reason of felony conviction.

Applications for absentee ballots must be received by noon on the day
before the election, in this case, by noon on Friday, May 6th. For more
information about the absentee ballot application process, please call the
Hanover Town Clerk’s Office at (781) 826-5000, x1079 or e-mail
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov or mary.gallagher@hanover-ma.gov .
