GILFORD VOTERS:
The Town Clerk – Tax Collector’s Office has been assisting the State of New Hampshire, Secretary of State’s Office with updating information for the new centralized voter database. The centralized database is a Federal requirement and must be in place by 2006. Most of you have been on the voter checklist for many years and the NH Driver’s License number or last 4-digits of your social security number were not require at the time of registration. However, the new law requires that we update your voter information to include the NH driver’s license number or last 4-digits of your social security number. You may update your NH driver’s license number/last 4-digits of your social security number information by mailing it into the office at:
Town Clerk, 47 Cherry Valley Rd., Gilford, NH 03249,
