Hancock Selectboard
For 2021 ONLY the Hancock Town Meeting will be conducted via Australian Ballot. There will be no in-person meeting on March 2, 2021. This change was made so that Hancock can be compliant with the current Vermont health and safety guidelines that prevent large indoor gatherings. This change applies only to the March 2, 2021 Town Meeting.
A Town Meeting Informational Meeting will be held REMOTELY on February 23 at 7:00 pm to discuss the Articles on the ballot. Call-in/join details will be posted a week before the meeting on the Town Website and will also be available from the Town Clerk.
Prior to the vote, the Select Board evaluated the best ways to proceed with Town Meeting in 2021. The Board was unanimous in its belief that the Covid-19 pandemic will still be with us in March and that the Town does not have a facility that would allow for a safe gathering of voters in compliance with State Covid-19 restrictions to conduct an in-person meeting. Earlier in 2020, in response to Covid-19, the State of Vermont passed temporary legislation that allows Town Select Boards to adopt the Australian Ballot system for the conducting of Town business in 2021. The State further urged Towns to consider and adopt Australian Ballot quickly so that there is time to plan and educate voters before Town Meeting.
At least one informational meeting will be held at least 10 days prior to Town Meeting day to allow for questions to be asked regarding the items on the ballot. This meeting will likely be a virtual meeting which people can join via a computer or telephone. The date of this meeting has not been determined as of the date of this letter.
Hancock residents interested in running for elected offices will need to register in advance if they want their names to appear on the Town Meeting ballot. A Consent Form must be filled out to get your name on the ballot. The form is available for download on the Town website and from the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk can be reached at
802-767-3660. These forms must be submitted to the Town Clerk by Monday January 25, 2021. A signed petition is not necessary in order to run for elected office in 2021.
