MODERATORS
But if it's anonymous how do they know you didn't do it?
Besides, I have genuinely not received or seen any official information about when the census is or how to do it - i only know it happened (is happening?) from people i know talking about having done it. How i was even meant to be informed?
That's why they ask for your name and address at the start - it's to verify that you have completed the census. Thar section is not tied to the actual census questions that come afterwards.
You're meant to have received your code, along with other details, in the mail.
It's tied to your address. Every address with at least one person staying in it on census night has to fill out a form.
Hmm, interesting, maybe I've been blacklisted. Though most of my family have ADHD, so more likely one of them brought in the mail and put it "somewhere safe"
