After over a month of voting by mail and two weeks of<br \/>\nin-person early voting, the Massachusetts State Election is finally upon<br \/>\nus.  Here are all of the details you might need to cast your vote on<br \/>\nTuesday:<\/p>\n<p>Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. &#8211; 8:00 p.m. at Hanover High School, 287 Cedar<br \/>\nStreet on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Hanover schools will be closed, so the building will be open all day and<br \/>\nparking will be available in the front and back of HHS.  Mom on the Go Food<br \/>\nTruck will be slinging grilled cheeses from 4:00 p.m. &#8211; 7:00 p.m.  The HHS<br \/>\nJunior Class will be selling baked goods and the HHS DECA Club will be<br \/>\nselling chocolate bars all day.  Consider bringing some cash to support<br \/>\nthem!<\/p>\n<p>Want to check your voter registration status before you get there?  Smart<br \/>\nidea.  Go to:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=nULoWKcdot6BIehbBzL6rtD1LnETxK9+hcKJ3LcXiZ9oqLt7nDOYRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\n.  If you are listed as &#8220;inactive&#8221;, you will have to fill out paperwork and<br \/>\nshow your ID before you can get back in line.  <\/p>\n<p>There are TWO CARDS that make up your ballot.  Card One is printed front<br \/>\nand back, Card Two just has one side printed.  There are nine questions on<br \/>\nthose two cards, in addition to the federal, state and district races.<br \/>\nHere is the link to the sample ballot:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=ypbZwVM4uxqYPOD8zf9phND1LnETxA9+hcKJ3LcXiZ9oqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t find your &#8220;red book&#8221; (2026 Information for Voters) with all of the<br \/>\nthe  information about the questions?  It&#8217;s here:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=JvtiWo4UTM2yDVZy0OUPHdD1LnETxJ9+hcKJ3LcXiZ9oqLt7nDP4RqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\n.  Do your homework now and be ready to vote when you arrive.  State<br \/>\nregulations only allow you 5 minutes to vote when there is a line and the<br \/>\nred book is 88 pages&#8230;yikes.  The math simply does not work.  Be prepared<br \/>\nwhen you walk in the door.<\/p>\n<p>Did you already vote by mail or early in person and want to make sure your<br \/>\nballot has been received?
