Hanover for many years has had a complicated, double government involving the Town and the Precinct within the Town, but by an 853-443 vote of the residents on May 17, following enabling legislation by the State Legislature, the way is now clear to merge the two and have a single town government. The merger, calling for five selectmen to administer the new government, becomes effective January 1, 1964.
