Parents of college students or members of the military who are registered voters
in Williamstown should be aware that deleting those children from their census
form will remove them from the active voters list. Also, households that have
dependent children in them, but are not listed on your census form
should add their children to the form and complete the information
that pertains to each child. Information regarding the children is not a
