John, it takes only a few minutes to fill out your census form online. Click here to get started »
Every ten years, the Constitution requires the federal government to take a census, a count of every person living in this country. Our work to protect every North Carolinian’s right to vote and to breathe clean air and drink clean water depends on an accurate count of our entire population.
This year, for the first time, you can make sure you're counted online!
Why is the census so important for you and your community? Here are three great reasons from our partners at Democracy North Carolina:
- Your MONEY: North Carolina receives about $23.8 billion a year in federal funding from Census data for vital things like education, health care, transportation, and natural disaster relief. The number of people counted in your community decides how much government money comes back to where you live.
- Your POWER: The number of people counted in your community affects how voting districts are drawn, who you get to vote for, and how many people represent you. More people counted means more political power at all levels.
- Your FUTURE: Government and business leaders use the Census to make plans for your community – including whether you’ll get new grocery stores, hospitals, schools, and more.
If we want to make sure we have a General Assembly and Congress that represent our values and our communities, we need to make sure everyone is counted. That starts with you doing your part today from the comfort of your own home, John!
After you fill out your form, make sure your friends and family do the same. Spread the word on social media!
Thanks for doing your part to sustain our democracy,
Carrie Clark, Executive Director
