Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Ballots for the Annual Town Election, scheduled for May 17th, 2025, are due
to be available for mailing to all Vote by Mail applicants by the last week
of April, 2025. The Vote by Mail application may be found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=sGJ/yLME8LOFjqS4TcPcQjMrsO2oDsGuqVfuJdudrmloqLt7nDPoRqoN783ZLADJ
. Print out, fill out, sign and date your application and mail it to the
Town Clerk’s Office, 550 Hanover Street. Paper copies are also available
outside the Town Clerk’s Office if you would like to pick one up instead.

As of this writing on April 16th, only 95 Hanover residents have applied
for a ballot by mail. Given that the US Postal Service recommends that
residents allow 7 days for an application to get to the Town Clerk’s
Office, along with 7 days for your ballot to be mailed to you, and 7 more
days for you to return your ballot before the polls close on May 17th, now
is the time to apply for your ballot by mail!

Questions may be directed to Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov or by calling 781-826-5000 x1079.

Hanover Woman’s Club, Juniors will once again host its annual
Candidates’ Night on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. The event will
be held as a Zoom webinar. Candidates’ Night is an annual event hosted
by the club that features candidates running for office in Hanover. The
program, led by a moderator, consists of a short presentation by each
candidate running for office followed by a question-and-answer period. The
forum is open to the public for viewing on Zoom or the Hanover cable
channel, channel 36 for Verizon and 8 for Comcast. This gives those
attending a chance to hear the views of the candidates on issues affecting
the town. Hearing the candidates in this setting will give town residents
the opportunity to cast an educated vote during town elections on May 17.

The Zoom link is
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=vNR0MAblJZKHOSqfXCOBaANtKvRgqHWCkdJWu3OCn1JoqLt7nDNIRqoN783ZLADJ

for a one-year term, one Board of Health member for a three-year term, one
Trustee of the Public Library for a three-year term, one Town Clerk for a
three-year term and one Moderator for a one-year term.

Question guidelines: They don’t accept questions for individual

combined. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, not all questions can be
asked.

The public may submit questions for the candidates to the Club’s email
