City Census-Takers Come Knocking in South End

Boston, MA - South End and Roxbury residents could receive a knock on the door starting Tuesday -- an annual check-in by the City Election's Department.

Every year, the City of Boston is required under state law to take a count of all residents 17 or older, helping the city "protect your voting rights and to provide better municipal services," according to its website.

The City Election Department tweeted Tuesday it will start door knocking in the South End and Roxbury as it conducts the census survey Tuesday.

You can also complete the census form online here or download the form here, fill it out and mail it to the Boston Election Department. The online form is also available in Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish.

The city asks that you note the form does not register you to vote. If you need to register, you can request a voter registration form online or by calling (617) 635-3767.
