BOARD OF REGISTRARS William H. Bennett, Chairman


The annual listing of all inhabitants 20 years of age and over was carried out under the supervision of the Registrars and the 1963 street listing records were compiled.


The Voting Registrars by Precincts were corrected and verified. The 1963 Voting Lists were prepared. At the close of the year the Precinct count stood as follows: Prec. 1-2,511; Prec. 2-1,909; Prec. 3-1751, totaling 6,171 voters. A comparison is here included:

*As of Dec. 31, 1963: New registrations for four elections in this coming Presidential Year should exceed the total figure for the year 1960.


A recount for the office of Road Commissioner was held which resulted in a net change of one vote from the original tally. We are justly proud of the Election Officers and Tellers whose fine work sets records for efficiency and accuracy.


Women married prior to January 1st must re-register under their mar- riage name to vote in the future. New residents are cordially requested to give notice of the date they acquired residence in Tewksbury by calling at the office of the Town Clerk.
