Andover Town Census 2022 Underway

ANDOVER, MA — The annual Andover town census is underway, the town said Friday, with the forms due back by March 15 to remain on the voter rolls.

"The data collected from the Town census is used for a number of things including determining aid given to the town from the state, and to verify residency for both military benefits and in-state tuition reductions," the town said.

Registered voters who do not return the census on time will be taken off the active voter list. This does not prevent you from voting, but will require some additional work to vote, according to the secretary of the commonwealth's website. First you will be sent a confirmation notice, which you can return to get added back to the active voter list.

If you don't return either form, you will be placed on the "inactive voter" list. In order to vote, will have to complete an affirmation form of your current and continuous residence and show identification showing your name and the address where you are registered to vote.

A blank census form can be found here: Andover 2022 Census Form.

Alongside the census mailing, residents will receive some information from local groups and a dog license application.
