Dear fellow Hanoverians:
A silver lining? I reviewed 35 years’ worth of Annual Town Election
records last week. Confirmed – Saturday, May 18, 2024’s election
elicited THE HIGHEST total Annual Town Election turnout in those 35 years.
Highest turnout years were as follows:
2024 – 4,779
1990 – 3,870
1997 – 3,347
2005 – 2,777
Some have asked about the debt exclusion voter turnout in 2008 for the new
high school. Not for nothing, but that election was held in conjunction
with the September 2008 State Primary, which brings out voters for
additional reasons besides just the local ballot question. Nevertheless,
the turnout for that State Primary Election was still less than last week’s
Annual Town Election – it was 4,413.
Regardless of which side of the override you were on, the citizens of
Hanover have certainly spoken. And I call that a good thing.
