How many days are left to complete the form?

He National Statistics Institute (INE) communicated yesterday that this Monday the 22nd the digital census stage ends and for this reason it encourages the Uruguayan population to complete the form or to resume it in order to reach more than 45% of the census population, as the entity had communicated this week.

This monday may 22 will be the last day to take advantage of the online option – after the five-day extension announced last Wednesday – while at the end of this month the face-to-face survey will begin.

While the last citizens complete the digital census virtually, the preparations for the face-to-face segment of the population survey finish closing, while it will start “end of next week” in a “gradual” way and with “smaller contingents”, to then go out with the “full deployment” of census takers “towards the next week”, on May 29, as explained by the director of the INE, Diego Aboal, in radio statements.

According to Aboal, the virtual alternative of the census, which was extended until next Monday, is “very good”, for which he is “very happy”. meanwhile this week the INE trained the census takers who will be in charge of the first face-to-face sessions of the census, while on the weekend of May 27 and 28, there will be other training sessions.

The objective of the INE is to reach 50% of households registered virtually. “If we reach 50%, Uruguay becomes the country with the most digital response in Latin America,” Aboal explained, establishing that they would be above Argentina, the current record holder. That is why from the institute they are offering raffles for a year of free electricity and cell phones to be able to exceed the 45% reached this week with more 550,000 Uruguayan households registered.

What happens if I don’t register?

The 2023 Census is mandatory participation. In Uruguaythe obligation to provide the information requested by the INE through its statistical operations is enshrined in the law No. 16,616. Likewise, Decree 244/02128 establishes that any person with habitual residence in the national territory is obliged to provide the data required by the census personnel.

In case of not completing it, according to article 24 of the law, “statistical infractions will be sanctioned with a fine” of a minimum of 20 UR ($31,720) and a maximum of UR 50 ($79,302)according to the amount established by the INE.

How do I return to the digital form?
