Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
I have been remiss in sending out the Town of Hanover’s election results to
\nall of you! A friend chided me on my delay yesterday, which reminded me
\nhow many of you rely on “Around Town on the Web” for town news. My
\napologies for this delay.<\/p>\n
My first priority in reporting the unofficial election results is always to
\nthe people gathered at the high school shortly after the polls close. The
\nunofficial results are always announced publicly – usually within 15 or 20
\nminutes after we close. Feel free to join us if you are so motivated!
\nOftentimes the Hanover Mariner reporter joins that crowd and is terrific
\nabout posting those results quickly. My second priority takes the form of
\nan e-mail after we are done at the high school – usually two or three hours
\nafter the polls close. That e-mail goes to all of the rest of the local
\nmedia outlets. <\/p>\n
The town election results will also always appear on the Town Clerk’s
\nwebpage located here: http:\/\/www.hanover-ma.gov\/town-clerk\/pages\/elections
\n. We post the unofficial results the day after the election (thanks,
\nMeg!). They are there as I write this; you will see that Hanover voted for
\nGeoff Diehl, but I am sure you know by now that Mike Brady won the overall
\nrace across the district and will be our new State Senator.<\/p>\n
New this year is the addition of my Hanover MA Town Clerk Facebook page,
\nwhich also has the results posted. That page may be found here:
\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HanoverMAClerk\/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel . Please
\n“like” that page so that you will automatically see the results in your
\nfeed next time.<\/p>\n
And finally, one more note – the unofficial results are just that. It
\nusually takes several days to dispense with provisional ballots and any
\nother related issues. Additionally, the Registrars of Voters “registers
\nthe vote”, which is a time-consuming process that usually takes several
\ndays, also (thanks Nancy, Pam and Kathy!). At this election, there were
\ntwo write in votes that actually were blank upon closer hand-count Tuesday
\nnight. So two write-ins were re-categorized as blanks in the official
\nfinal results. Once all of those processes are said and done, I report
\nthose official results to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, which I did
\nlast night when I finally “certified” the election.<\/p>\n
Hope this e-mail is helpful to you as we close the books on another
\nwell-run election in Hanover (soooooo many thanks to everyone involved –
\nespecially our Wardens John, Carol, Joe and Rick)and set our sights for the
\nPresidential Primary on March 1, 2016!<\/p>\n
