Voting in Orange

A Canaan resident reported on Saturday that a man driving a New York registered car came to the door of her home and claimed that the names of her family had been removed from the checklist; they could not vote this year, the man reportedly said.

If that happens to you, please report it immediately to the Orange Town Clerk. Only the Supervisors of the Checklist can remove a voter’s name.

Speaking of which, you have until Monday to ask for any changes to the Checklist. Here’s the official notice:

The Supervisors of the Checklist will be in session Monday, October 26, 2020, 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM at the Town House. No additions or corrections to the checklist shall be made after this session until election day on November 3rd.

If you already voted by absentee ballot—or plan to in the next few days—you can track it through this official New Hampshire website. If you haven’t requested an absentee ballot yet, you’d better hurry. (You’ll find the absentee ballot request form here.) While the state will accept requests until Monday, November 2, you obviously won’t get your ballot in time to vote. Once you do receive your ballot, you can put it in the mail and hope it gets in by 5:00 p.m. November 2. A safer bet: take it to the Town House during Town Clerk hours. (See the calendar.)
