Canton Officials Remind Residents To Ensure Participation In 2020 Census

Press release from the City of Canton:

March 30, 2020

A few weeks ago, the Census Bureau sent instructions for completing your 2020 Census questionnaire online. If you have already completed your 2020 Census questionnaire, you do not need to take any further action. If you have not already responded to this important 10-minute questionnaire, please do so now.

Complete your questionnaire using ONLY ONE of the following options:

Respond online at my2020census.gov. To do so, you will need to provide your 12-digit Census ID, which is printed below the barcode on the front of the questionnaire.

If you are unable to respond online, complete and mail back the questionnaire in the postage-paid envelope mailed to your home.

You are required by law to respond to the 2020 Census. It is vital that you complete your 2020 Census questionnaire to help meet critical needs in your area – such as helping to put roads, parks, and hospitals where they are needed most.

If you do not respond promptly, a Census Bureau interviewer will come to your home to collect your answers in person.

Your answers are completely confidential. By law, the Census Bureau is required to protect your information.

If you need help completing your 2020 Census questionnaire, please call toll-free 1-844-330-2020.
