Household<br \/>\nmembers who are temporarily living away from home, such as college<br \/>\nstudents, members of the military services, etc., should not be removed<br \/>\nfrom the census if they plan to use Hanover as their voting address.<\/p>\n<p>Also included in the census mailing are a Hanover School Information Sheet<br \/>\nand a Dog License Application. If relevant, these forms should also be<br \/>\ncompleted and may be returned in the enclosed addressed envelope or dropped<br \/>\nthrough the mail slot in the front door of the Hanover Town Hall. If you<br \/>\ndid not receive a census form or are new to the Town of Hanover, please<br \/>\ncontact the Board of Registrars at: 781-826-5000 ext. 1028 or the Town<br \/>\nClerk at 781-826-5000 ext. 1079.<\/p>\n<p>Completion of the annual census is important for a number of reasons. It<br \/>\nassists in accurate municipal planning, it provides public safety officials<br \/>\nwith current information, and it allows Hanover to receive the proper<br \/>\nallocation of state and federal funds and grants. Filing a census can<br \/>\nprovide proof of residency for a number of legal requirements such as<br \/>\nin-state tuition at state colleges, and housing benefits, veterans\u2019<br \/>\nbenefits, and insurance benefits. Also, any registered voters in a<br \/>\nhousehold that fails to complete an annual census will lose their<br \/>\n\u201cactive\u201d voter status.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact Senior Registrar Nancy Goldthwait at<br \/>\nnancy.goldthwait@hanover-ma.gov ,Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at<br \/>\ncatherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov  or Senior Clerk Meg Coogan at<br \/>\nmeg.coogan@hanover-ma.gov .<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions<br \/>\nabout &#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to http:\/\/www.atotw.com.<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your<br \/>\naccount.
