REPORT OF THE REGISTRARS OF VOTERS


Report of the Registrars of Voters


Honorable Board of Selectmen Arlington, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The Registrars of Voters herewith submit their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1960, in accordance with Section 3 of Article 3 of the By-Laws.


Temporary Assistant Registrars designated by our Board made a complete can- vass of the Town for the purpose of taking the annual listing of persons twenty years of age and older residing in the Town of Arlington on January 1, 1960, and in con- junction therewith a listing of owners or keepers of dogs, both as required under the law.


Our Board certified the signatures of 12,653 voters appearing in nomination papers filed by or in behalf of candidates seeking municipal, county and state offices and in petitions filed with your Board for articles to be inserted in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting.


Thirty-two evening sessions for the registration of voters were held during the year at various public buildings throughout the town. At these sessions, 2070 persons were qualified to vote in elections. Throughout the year, daily sessions for the regis- tration of voters were held during regular business hours in the office of the Town Clerk, at which an additional 3532 persons were so qualified. A total of 5602 names were, therefore, added to the voting list during the year.


For the four elections held in 1960, the Registrars were in session throughout the entire period during which the polls were opened, after which they assisted in the tabulation of the returns of ballots cast at each such election, as follows:


Polls Open


Tabulation Completed


Town Election (March 7)


7 A.M. - 8 P.M.


3:00 A.M. - Mar. 8


Presidential Primary (April 26)

7:45 A.M. - Sept. 14


State Election (November 8)


7 A.M. - 8 P.M.


9:35 A.M. - Nov. 9


Mr. Timothy J. Buckley was reappointed by your Board as a member of the Board of Registrars of Voters for a term of three years.


Recounts of the ballots cast at the Annual Town Election on March 7 for the offi- ces of Selectmen and Town Meeting Member in Precinct 14 were made by our Board on Saturday, March 19. The details thereof are included in the "Record of Elections and Town Meetings", which appears elsewhere in the printed Town Report.


Upon completion of the work of revising the voting list, in accordance with the true list information that had been presented, a total of 1736 notices were sent by first- class mail, as required by law, to persons whose names were to be removed from the voting list for the reason that they had not been reported as residing in Arlington on January 1, 1960. Of this number 454 proved residence and were reinstated.


142


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


As a result of the notices mailed, the names of 1282 voters were removed from the list for varying reasons including removal from the Town, changes of name by marriage or court decree, and/or failure to comply with the notice. An additional 346 names of voters were dropped from the voting list because of death or other changes in voting status brought to the attention of our Board.


The total number of registered voters upon completion of the revision of the voting list was 25,216.


The total number of registered voters at the close of registration for the biennial State Election was 29,408, the largest number yet recorded, and of this total 10,906 were enrolled Democrats and 6,989 were enrolled Republicans.
