Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This past Friday, 11/1 at noon was the last day and time for any registered
Hanover voter to Vote Early In-Person without an excuse. As of Sunday
(today as I write this), over 4,800 voters, or 39% of our registered
voters, have voted early either by mail or in-person. If you requested a
ballot by mail and it is still sitting on your kitchen counter, NOW is the
time to return it to the ballot drop box outside Town Hall. It is due to
that box by the close of polls on Tuesday! Want to know if the Town
Clerk’s Office received your ballot? Go to:

.
And so, the rest of us are officially on to Election Day! Below please
find some information to help you to cast your vote on Tuesday, November
5th, 2024.
All four Hanover precincts vote at Hanover High School, 287 Cedar Street.
School will be closed that day. Voters are encouraged to park in the back
simply because it is closer to the polls, but the front doors will be open
too. There’s also more parking in front than in back. We expect to set
record numbers at this election, so come early and expect to wait in line.
Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Help us to avoid lines by deciding now how you plan to vote, especially on
the 5 questions that will be on the ballot since they are long. Here is
the link to the Specimen Ballot:

. Want to do your homework and can’t find your red “Information for
Voters” booklet? Here’s the link to the book:

.
Hanover’s own Mom on the Go Food Truck will be slinging grilled cheese
sandwiches from 11:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. in the back of the high school near
the track. Skip meal prep, bring the kids and spend some time studying
your booklet while you eat before you go in!
Are you physically unable to get to the polls? Will you be out of town on
Election Day ALL day between 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.? Do you have a
religious belief that prevents you from coming to the polls on Tuesday? If
you can answer yes to one of these questions, and are willing to sign an
affidavit attesting so, then you qualify for an absentee ballot. Absentee
ballots are available over the counter from 8:00 a.m. – 12 noon ONLY on
Monday, November 4th in the Town Clerk’s Office. The voter has to appear
in person.
The Town Clerk’s Office will close at noon on Monday in order to set up and
prepare for the election. Please use your electronic resources to answer
any further questions you may have at that point. We really like this

.
In closing, please join me in thanking your election worker friends and
neighbors who have served hundreds and hundreds of hours just to get us to
this point – and who will continue to do so on Election Day. They are part
of an incredible team of people who simply want to make sure that you can
vote, and that together, we can continue to bring democracy to the citizens
of Hanover. You know who they are, and I know that they are amazing.
Thank you, team.
