Town of Hanover 2021 Census Update 2/17/21
As a reminder to residents, the annual town census was mailed to all Hanover households at the beginning of 2021. All residents should review the information on the form, make any changes if necessary, and sign and return the form as soon as possible. The deadline was February 15, 2021.
If there are no changes to your town census, please complete the online census form. Household members who are temporarily living away from home, such as college students, members of the military services, etc., should not be removed from the census if they plan to use Hanover as their voting address.
If you did not receive a town census form or have misplaced it, you may download a blank form, or contact the Registrar's Office at 781-826-5000, 1028.
Why the Census is Important
- It assists the police and fire departments in case of any emergency in your home.
- It allows Hanover to receive the proper allocation of state and federal funds and grants.
- Filing a census can provide you with proof of residency for a number of legal requirements such as in-state tuition at state colleges, housing benefits, veterans’ benefits, and insurance benefits.
- Any registered voters in a household that fail to complete an annual census will lose their “active voter” status, which will result in you experiencing unnecessary delays at the polls.
Please be sure your primary phone number is on the census form. Your phone number will only be used for internal purposes and not shared or sold.
