The Clerk’s office continues to accept 2023 Annual Census Forms.  A second mailing was sent in March for those who have not yet responded. Please return your forms as soon as possible. Failure to respond will result in voter’s names being placed on the inactive list. While this does not prohibit you from voting, you will be required to show proof of identification at the polls. For your convenience, census forms can be mailed, emailed, or dropped off. A reminder that a completed 2023 census form is required in order to qualify for the Senior Trash Discount.
