Enumerators are being trained
to find those who do not mail in census forms


About: 2010 Census With 4 days remaining Adair at 72%

By Krishana Melson
U.S. Census Bureau, Participation Assistant

Please urge citizens that if they do not fill out the form that enumerators are undergoing training in a few weeks and they will be visiting those who have not returned their forms.

They will make several attempts to reach each person in each county to make sure they get an accurate count. I personally urge all citizens to take just 10 minutes to fill out the 10 questions and return your census form.

If you need help filling out your form there is a phone number on the form you can call and they will fill out a form for you over the telephone.
