Have you returned your annual city census yet? If not, there is still time to do so. You can return your census a number of ways:
- Via the mail
- Hand deliver to our office
- Drop in our blue elections drop box outside City Hall
- Email a photo of the complete, signed copy to [email protected]
Failure to return the annual census/street listing will result in the voter being placed on the "inactive voter list". Every summer, registered voters who failed to respond to either the census mailing are made inactive. Voters who are made inactive are immediately sent confirmation cards, which the voter can send back to be reinstated as active or to report an address change. Voters can also be reinstated to the active voting list by either voting in an election or signing a petition or nomination paper. When inactive voters arrive at the polling place, they will be asked to show identification/provide proof of residence and will need to fill out an Affirmation of Current and Continuous Residence. After the election, they will be reinstated to the active voting list.
If a voter fails to respond to the annual census and does not vote in the next two biennial state elections, the voter will be removed from the voter registration rolls. M.G.L.Ch. 51 §37.
