Voter Information

Absentee Ballot Procedure: Voters who will be unable to vote on Election Day due to absence from town, religious commitments, or physical disability may vote by absentee ballot. Voters desiring to vote by absentee ballot need to submit a signed request form to obtain a ballot. Voters may request an absentee ballot from the Superintendent of Schools office, 41 Lebanon St, Suite 2, Hanover (603-643-6050) ryanneschoonover@sau70.org, or from the Hanover Town Clerk's office.

Registering to vote and voting in person at this time may pose a health risk to some due to the COVID-19 health emergency. You may register absentee (by mail) if:

• You are ill due to COVID-19, or you are caring for someone with the virus or COVID-19 symptoms.
  OR
• You are concerned that registering to vote in person will expose you or others to COVID-19.

The term “disability” in the election law extends to these circumstances. You must complete and sign the DISABILITY affidavit on the form for absentee voter registration. Even if you do not consider yourself a person with a disability in other circumstances, this term applies for absentee voter registration in 2023. The opportunity to register and vote absentee due to disability from COVID-19 concerns will apply in 2023 until further notification from State officials.

Requesting a Hanover School District Absentee Ballot Form
Absentee ballots requests for Hanover and Dresden are now available at the SAU and Town Offices.

Forms may be returned by email to ryanneschoonover@sau70.org, mail, fax (603-643-3073), or in person. A separate request form is necessary for the Hanover and Dresden ballots.

If you are requesting a ballot for another person, you may pick up or request a form, take the form to the absentee voter, obtain that person's signature, and return the request form to the Superintendent/Town Clerk's office. The absentee ballot will then be mailed to the absentee voter.
