Election Workers

All town employees who are hired to perform the job as election workers are required to read and understand the information in the Election Worker Training PowerPoint.  Printed copies of this training are available in the Town Clerk's Office.

Registered voters interested in serving as paid election workers are encouraged to check the Town of Hanover's Current Employment Opportunities.

Time Sheets

Election workers may submit electronic time sheets for review and approval.

Campaign Finance

The Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) provides excellent guidance on this issue and makes the entire process very user-friendly. Municipal candidates who are interested in learning about the process should view the Getting Started Guide.  You will find links to organization forms, campaign finance report forms, and a summary of the campaign finance law as it appears in the OCPF guide booklet.

All candidates for elective office and sitting officials in elected office positions are required by law to file campaign finance reports every year.  Active candidates have several additional deadlines that must be met during the campaign season. Local officials file these reports with the Town Clerk. All reports are available for public inspection during normal business hours.

Towns are required to post campaign finance reports on the municipal website for local candidates who have had over $1000 in expenditures or collected over $1000 in revenue in a single reporting period.  In Hanover, this practice began in 2013.  Additionally, as an added best practice, Hanover began posting Campaign Finance Reports for all candidates and elected officials in the second half of 2014, regardless of the number of expenditures or receipts.
