This Friday (May 6, 2016) is the deadline for returning the interim census forms issued to all Island households last month.

After the deadline reminder letters will be sent and the census team will visit all properties that have not yet completed and submitted the form.

So far nearly 30,000 (29,667) forms have been returned out of an estimated 37,000 occupied households. The running total includes more than 4,000 (4,251) households that have taken advantage of the easy online census option available for the first time as part of Government’s Digital Strategy.

Every home has been provided with a paper version of the form, which includes a unique online code allowing householders access to the online form.

Further information, including responses to Frequently Asked Questions, is also available on the Government website: https://www.gov.im/categories/home-and-neighbourhood/census-2016/.
