Census: Access to flats needs to be given for form deliveries

Management companies need to give census enumerators access to apartment blocks so census forms can be delivered to every home.

The CSO issued the call following feedback from enumerators who are having difficulty accessing apartment buildings. The census takes place on April 24 and, before then, a census form must be hand-delivered to every household in the country, including apartments.

The CSO says hand delivery is essential so it can guarantee every household has a form. It also allows householders ask any questions they have. After the census, forms must be collected by the enumerator to go to the CSO for analysis.
