Show Notes
Have you ever wondered what goes into pulling off a safe, accurate, and fair election? Join five local Hanover election officials in this month's Spotlight to dive deep into the behind the scenes of how our elections work.
This the first of a multi-part series recapping and discussing our elections. This first is a conversation with:
- Town Clerk Bobbie Hitchcock
- Town Moderator Jeremy Eggleton
- Supervisor of the Checklist Allison Gorman
- Ballot Clerk Bill Brown
- Ballot Clerk Sandy Joslin
We talk about what it takes to make a safe, accurate election actually happen in Hanover, how you accurately count and record thousands of blank ballots (not the way you might think), the importance of accurate record keeping, building trust in our elections, and some memorable moments our staff and volunteers have had.
This spotlight is in part to thank the over 80 individuals, almost all of whom are volunteer, who directly work on the election, plus the dozens more who support it. Thank you all for doing what you do, ensuring one of the most important and sacred components to our society can happen in a trusted fashion.
