Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
After fielding a few phone calls from confused Hanoverians this past week,
\nI thought the following e-mail might be of interest and assistance.<\/p>\n
First, as a result of the emergency legislation signed by the Governor on
\nJuly 6th, there are now technically 4 ways to vote in the September 1st
\nPrimary (or the November 3rd General Election, for that matter).<\/p>\n
1)\t Vote by Mail. All registered voters in MA were sent a postcard on or
\naround July 15th inviting them to check off boxes in response to the \u201cI
\nWant to Vote\u201d heading. That postcard is considered an application. Fill
\nit out and send it in. We\u2019ll mail you back a ballot. 1,942 ballots were
\nmailed this week. There are currently still about 150 to go out.
\nWondering where your ballot is? Go to
\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=xDTs2r0WpOq+cjcdTcMKAdsvOCiMqBaGvHZNKCXmTq9oqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ
\n. As an added benefit, here in Hanover, if you fill out your application
\nincorrectly, we\u2019ll even mail you a letter helping you to re-submit. Stay
\ntuned for news about our new secure ballot drop box, too!<\/p>\n
2)\tVote Absentee in-person. Show up at the Town Clerk\u2019s Office (we just
\ngot ballots – so just starting just the other day!) Monday – Friday from
\n8:00 a.m. \u2013 12 noon or 6:00 p.m. \u2013 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday night and
\nfill out an absentee in-person application. You can vote right then and
\nthere if you meet certain criteria. Go to
\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=AVY3XvSSPKyAWEM5S8howNsvOCiMqEaGvHZNKCXmTq9oqLt7nDOYRqoN783ZLADJ
\nfor more information and to see if you meet those criteria.<\/p>\n
3)\tVote Early in-person. In-person Early Voting is available to anyone, as
\nfollows: Saturday, August 22nd, 12:00 \u2013 4:00 p.m.; Sunday, August 23rd,
\n12:00 \u2013 4:00 p.m.; Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, August 24th, 25th, and
\n27th, 8:00 a.m. \u2013 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, August 26th, 8:00 a.m. \u2013 8:00
\np.m., or Friday, August 28th, 8:00 a.m. \u2013 12 noon. In-person Early
\nVoting is held at Hanover Town Hall in the large hearing room on the first
\nfloor.<\/p>\n
4)\tVote on Election Day, Tuesday, September 1st. Polls are open at Hanover
\nHigh School from 7:00 a.m. \u2013 8:00 p.m. See you there!<\/p>\n
While all of these dates just apply to the September 1st primary, please
\nknow that there will be similar dates in October in advance of the November
\n3rd General Election. The four options will remain.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t let COVID-19 make you choose between your health and your right to
\nvote. You\u2019ve got options. Vote! Call me, Town Clerk Catherine
\nHarder-Bernier at (781) 826-5000 x1079 with your questions.<\/p>\n
