Be Counted! Census Deadline Nears
Anyone who resided in Nevada on April 1 should be counted in the 2020 Census. Funding
for our state and seats in the House of Representatives are among the important reasons
to be counted.
WHEN: through April 30
HOW: Go to census.nv.gov to fill out your form OR to your local public library
WHY:
1. Money Back To Your Community. Nevada could receive more than $20,000 over 10 years
for every man, woman and child who is counted in the 2020 Census. This funding helps
pay for education, affordable housing, healthcare and infrastructure in YOUR city
and county.
2. Easy To Fill Out. There are three ways you can ensure you get counted: online,
over the phone, or on a paper mail-in form.
3. Dont Give Our Fair Share Away. Every Nevadan not counted means we lose our share
of federal funding to other states.
4. Weve Always Done It This Way. The Census is part of U.S. history. Weve been doing
it since 1790.
5. One-Person-One-Vote. The Census ensures fair and equitable representation through
elected officials.
6. Its Our Civic Duty. The Census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution to count EVERYONE
living in the United States.
7. Its Our Future. The results of the 2020 census will help shape Nevadas future for
the next ten years we cannot afford to miss the opportunity to be counted.
8. Nevada Matters. Be Counted. Help Your Community. You are important and being counted
means helping maintain and improve roads, education, health care, and public safety
where you live.
