Who responds to the Digital Census?
The INE reports that “a person of legal age, will be responsible for the rest of the members“, but that” it is also an opportunity for all of them to do it together.
They may choose to carry out the digital census “all people who reside in private homes and have a meter of UTE enabled“.
The digital census modality does not apply in the following cases:
- collective housing (hotel, boarding house or other lodging house, hospital or sanatorium, residence for the elderly and students, laborers’ house, religious boarding school, penitentiary establishment, care and protection homes, military or police headquarters, shelter, non-prison rehabilitation center with permanent hospitalization).
- Private dwellings with two or more households (that is to say, when groups of people reside who have separate expenses for their food and, therefore, each one of them forms a household).
- Private homes without a meter of UTE enabled.
- commercial premises, educational or others where there are no persons habitually residing there.
- Homeless people.
