Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
Once or twice a decade, Hanover wins the scheduling jackpot and the
\nSeptember State Primary gets re-scheduled for the first day of school that
\nhad been decided months prior. :) There’s no way around it, but the team
\nthat will be waiting at Hanover High School tomorrow\/Tuesday September 5th
\nwill be ready for you – whether you’re a newly registered voter, long-time
\nresident and regular voter, graduating senior driving to school for the
\nfirst time, or a new freshman student.<\/p>\n
Voters will be directed down Judy Schneider Way (formerly known as the
\nCedar School driveway), and to park in the back, immediately behind the
\nbuilding near the football field all day long. There will be plenty of
\nparking – keep driving all the way down that parking lot so that you are
\nnear the concession stand\/locker room area to find spaces. There will be
\nextra temporary handicapped spaces also.<\/p>\n
Students and parents dropping off or picking up students will be directed
\ndown the main\/front driveway, again, all day long. Students will park in
\nthe lot on the right.<\/p>\n
Polls open at 7:00 a.m., and there is typically a line at that hour. The
\nheaviest congestion times for all folks arriving at Hanover High School
\nwill be from about 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. and again from about 2:15 p.m. –
\n2:45 p.m. Please be prepared for traffic and delays during that time.
\nThanks in advance for your patience! Polls close at 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
Voters will enter from the back door facing the football field and be
\ndirected to the gym door at the back of the gym near the fitness center
\nentrance. Yes, this is different from the COVID queuing protocols! You
\nwill not enter the cafeteria\/main part of the building at all. If you need
\nto use a rest room while you are there, the locker room bathrooms will be
\nopen to you until about 2:30-3:00 p.m. You will also exit out of the back
\nof the gym and walk along that back\/locker room hallway to get back to your
\ncar. After about 2:45 p.m., the bulk of the students will have left the
\nbuilding and the restrooms near the trophy case in the cafeteria will
\nbecome the public bathrooms as needed; the locker rooms will be turned over
\nto the student athletes.<\/p>\n
One final note about Tuesday’s weather – wet raincoats and umbrellas don’t
\nmix well with paper ballots. Please take special care to keep anything wet
\naway from your ballot!<\/p>\n
Hanover’s amazing team of election workers, Hanover Police and Fire,
\nFacilities and DPW\/Highway staff appreciates the graciousness and
\nflexibility of the Hanover school department staff, teachers and coaches
\nfor allowing Hanover’s voters to share space with them tomorrow (as I write
\nthis)\/Tuesday. See you all there!<\/p>\n
