Voters who did not return the Annual Street Listing (City Census), will be placed on the Inactive Voter List (MGL Chapter 51, Section 4) as of May 30.
For anyone who did not receive a Census, a link for a new Census form is available to download on the website, and may be mailed to the City Clerk’s Office, 59 Court Street, Westfield, MA 01085.

Fanion said voters on the inactive list may still go to the polls and vote, but they will have to fill out an affirmation that they still live in Westfield, and provide identification.
