Voter Registration

Registering to vote in Hanover, NH is designed to be done in-person before a designated election official. There are several options for Dartmouth students to register to vote: 

• Attend an on-campus voter registration drive (only students approved to be on-campus are eligible to attend these drives). 
• Register at the Town Office (41 South Main Street), Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (No registration available at Town Hall between Thursday, 10/29 and Tuesday, 11/3)
• Voter Registration is available on Election Day, Tuesday November 3, at Leverone Field House. (7:00AM-7:00PM)

While voter registration is an option on election day, it is highly recommended that you register to vote in advance. 

If you have a concern or issue with appearing in person for voter registration, please contact townclerk@hanovernh.org for more information.
