The City of Fall River will soon be distributing the annual city census form. Residents can expect to see the form in the mail during the first week of February.
The city census is mandated by the Commonwealth to be conducted yearly and is coordinated by the city’s elections commission. Chair Ryon Lyons says an accurate count of residents is important in ensuring state and federal resources are allocated fairly to meet the city’s needs.
Residents are being asked to make any necessary corrections to the information on the form and get it back to Government Center as soon as possible.
Mr. Lyons says it’s important to return the census, as failure to do so may negatively impact one’s voting status during the fall election season.
Also included in this year’s census mailing will be a form for voters to apply for a no-excuse mail ballot for this city’s preliminary election on September 19 and city election on November 7.
