Where do I vote?
The Town House auditorium is the
polling place for all elections. State and federal elections
dates are well publicized. The annual town election is held
the first Monday in May.
Why do I have to update and
return the Annual Street Listing form?
State law requires that Street
List forms be issued annually. The information garnered from
these forms is used in several ways. Information on the form
is used in part to determine the need for educational and
senior programs, state and federal funding, reimbursements,
the eligibility for grant money and voter eligibility.
Why is my name being
removed from the voter list?
Voter lists are kept current by
using information provided on the Annual Street List form
because it’s our most effective method of verifying and
maintaining our records. When a voter has not responded for
at least three years, we assume that the party is no longer
a resident of Hampden and they are notified that they will
be removed from the voter list. In cases where a voter moves
within the Town, chooses to change party affiliation,
changes a name or otherwise makes a change to his or her
voter affiliation, it is his or her responsibility to notify
the Clerk’s office.
