Statistics Estonia extends the e-census by 24 hours
“The last days have shown that some of the people have left participation in the e-census for the last moment. In order everyone would be able to participate in the census in the most suitable way for him/her, we lengthen the e-census by 24 hours,” said Mr Priit Potisepp, Director General of Statistics Estonia.
If the questionnaires of the e-census have previously left uncompleted, Statistics Estonia asks to complete and confirm the questionnaires now. “I am sincerely grateful to all people of Estonia who have already contributed to the success of the Population Census,” Mr Potisepp added.
The e-census questionnaires can be completed on the census website www.REL2011.ee until 23:59 on 1 February. All permanent residents of Estonia aged 15 and above can complete the census questionnaires themselves. The questionnaires on children will be completed by their parents or guardians.
