35% Bulgarians Agree on On line Census Only

About 54,000 people will undergo the census of population and households in Bulgaria in February, said Lyubomir Blatski, head of the press centre of the National Statistics Institute (NSI).

Census takers are expected to complete a training until January 25. They will visit households, homes and buildings between February 1-28.

For the first time Bulgarian will hold on line census as well. It will be the first phase of the census and will take place from February 1 to February 9.

According to a national survey, about 36% of the Bulgarians would agree to undergo only the on line census. The reason is that it would take about 15 minutes, while the traditional method would take about 10 minutes more.

On average, one census taker is expected to visit about 200-250 people and 80 households. It is very important that all people and buildings undergo the procedure. In Blatski's words, less than 1% of the people and buildings were skipped in the last census.

He has stated that about EUR 1.5-2 is required for the census of one Bulgarian. In other European countries, the average sum is about BGN 4-5.

Bulgaria is the first EU member state that will hold population census in 2011. It also be among the seven countries, which will hold on line census as well.

The campaign will end on March 1, when the percentage of Bulgarians who underwent the census will be announced. The complete data from the census will be announced at the beginning of April.

There must be a searching question here. Why is Balchik so different to the rest of Bulgaria?

By "
being unable to be found"
, you are tacitly refusing to give that information and so will be fined. Have you not heard of Bulgarian logic??

Because I live there, obviously :Sunny:Seriously, Balchik is known for it's "
nasty"
people. Why? I don't know, but ask any Bulgarian not from Balchik.

I have to agree, balchik municipality has attitude, charges more than any other municipality for taxes and gets away with it. that is why i have contacted the eu over this census and have it all in writing.

Indeed, that is a fact - if it has anything to do with Balchik Municipality, Court, Prosecutor's Office or Police, most lawyers from elsewhere don't want to have anything to do with it and some will just downright refuse to come.

"
Attitude"
is an understatement.

I take it you folk in Balchik still haven't done your census

Bulgaria's Census Steps Into Its Last Day

Monday marks the end of Bulgaria' first census in a decade, which kicked off on February 1 2011.

Census takers will continue to visit people's homes until 8 pm on Monday. Special stations have been opened in the largest cities (regional centres) for those who for some reason have not filled the questionnaire yet.

After over three million people took part in the first ever on-line census in the country, which was carried out February 1-9, the classic census started on February 10. People who have filled in the on-line census questionnaire have received a unique 10-digit code, which has to be provided to the census takers, when they visit their home.

As of February 22, a total of 6 712 251 people had taken part in either the on-line or traditional census, which constitutes 90% of the registered population the Bulgarian National Statistical Institute has informed. Of them, 1 183 000 live in the capital Sofia, 652 000 in the Plovdiv Region, 445 000 in the Varna Region, 377 000 in the Burgas Region and 303 000 in the Stara Zagora Region.

The decennial census aims to collect full, exact, and adequate information about the condition of the population, economy, and society which are to be used to draft strategic documents for the development of the country – a National Program for Development "
Bulgaria 2020"
and a new 5-year plan for the absorption of EU funds – 2013-2017.
