Citizens who wish to register themselves have a few days, in the context of the Population Census conducted by ELSTAT for 2021.
The initial deadline for the self-inventory expired on 26 November, but ELSTAT announced an extension. Based on the new schedule, the deadline for the self-inventory (*see instructions for self-inventory here) expires in four days from today and, specifically, at 13 December.
Participation in the inventory is mandatory. That is why the citizens who will not register themselves through the electronic application until 13 December, will go through a home interview. It is reminded that citizens are not obliged to show their house to the enumerators. All they need to do is answer the Census questions, which can be made at the entrance of the house.
