Voter Confirmation Cards Mailed
Voter confirmation cards were mailed to voters on June 24, 2008. If a voter receives a card, he or she should be certain that the information is correct, sign the card and return the card as soon as possible. The voter does not have to place a stamp on the card. The City must pay the postage according to Federal and State law. Voters should keep in mind the following points. Not all voters will receive a card. A card is sent if there is no record of receiving the local census in the Office of the City Clerk. Returning the card will avoid the necessity of completing an affidavit at the polls on election day. Call the Office of the City Clerk at (781) 897-5850 with any questions.
