2022 Annual Town Census/Street Listing

The 2022 Annual Town Census/Street Listing will have a delay in mailing due to the Reprecincting process.

There are 3 major components to the Reprecincting process.  Below is an overview of the project.

• Phase 1 - LEDRC (Local Election Districts Review Commission) approval for new maps based on 2020 Federal Census data.  (Complete)
• Phase 2 – Updating the Town’s VRIS (Voter Registration Information System) street addresses with the 2020 blocks and tracts, as designated by the Federal Census. (In Progress)
• Phase 3 – Updating precincts in VRIS to match the Town’s newly approved maps. (Scheduled for January 2021)

The decision to delay mailing the 2022 Census was to avoid confusion for voters. When the State has completed the updated information in the VRIS, the updated information on the census will provide the changes in precincts.

To mail the 2022 Census with expired information would potentially confuse the voters in Ayer.

The delay in receiving your 2022 Census will not impact anyone’s voter registration status.

Once the updates are completed, we will have the 2022 Census mailed, available on our Town of Ayer website, and available in the Town Clerk’s office.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Town Clerk’s office at 978-772-8220 ext. 153 or email at clerk@ayer.ma.us.

As always, your patience and support are most appreciated.
