Complete Count Committee

Northeast Ohio communities hope no one goes uncounted in the 2020 Census. Complete count committees, local groups made up of area government and community leaders, will spend the next few months promoting the decennial count.

The Supreme Court ruling that blocked the citizenship question for the 2020 census won’t have much impact on local preparations for next year’s count, local officials say. But they’re hoping it convinces people to participate in the tally. “We know the Census Bureau has to get the questionnaire complete,” said Simeon Best, who is heading the Complete Count Committee for Cuyahoga County. “But for our efforts, we’re still pushing forward to reach out to everyone, because we want everyone counted.”
