Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Once or twice a decade, Hanover wins the scheduling jackpot and the
September State Primary gets re-scheduled for the first day of school that
had been decided months prior. :) There’s no way around it, but the team
that will be waiting at Hanover High School tomorrow/Tuesday September 5th
will be ready for you – whether you’re a newly registered voter, long-time
resident and regular voter, graduating senior driving to school for the
first time, or a new freshman student.
Voters will be directed down Judy Schneider Way (formerly known as the
Cedar School driveway), and to park in the back, immediately behind the
building near the football field all day long. There will be plenty of
parking – keep driving all the way down that parking lot so that you are
near the concession stand/locker room area to find spaces. There will be
extra temporary handicapped spaces also.
Students and parents dropping off or picking up students will be directed
down the main/front driveway, again, all day long. Students will park in
the lot on the right.
Polls open at 7:00 a.m., and there is typically a line at that hour. The
heaviest congestion times for all folks arriving at Hanover High School
will be from about 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. and again from about 2:15 p.m. –
2:45 p.m. Please be prepared for traffic and delays during that time.
Thanks in advance for your patience! Polls close at 8:00 p.m.
Voters will enter from the back door facing the football field and be
directed to the gym door at the back of the gym near the fitness center
entrance. Yes, this is different from the COVID queuing protocols! You
will not enter the cafeteria/main part of the building at all. If you need
to use a rest room while you are there, the locker room bathrooms will be
open to you until about 2:30-3:00 p.m. You will also exit out of the back
of the gym and walk along that back/locker room hallway to get back to your
car. After about 2:45 p.m., the bulk of the students will have left the
building and the restrooms near the trophy case in the cafeteria will
become the public bathrooms as needed; the locker rooms will be turned over
to the student athletes.
One final note about Tuesday’s weather – wet raincoats and umbrellas don’t
mix well with paper ballots. Please take special care to keep anything wet
away from your ballot!
Hanover’s amazing team of election workers, Hanover Police and Fire,
Facilities and DPW/Highway staff appreciates the graciousness and
flexibility of the Hanover school department staff, teachers and coaches
for allowing Hanover’s voters to share space with them tomorrow (as I write
this)/Tuesday. See you all there!
