Online questionnaire completion for Census 2022 closing on 25 February 2022

Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) announced that households who registered to complete the census questionnaire online have until Friday 25th February 2022 to do so. Registration for remote data collection closed on 21 February 2021.

While more than 400 000 households had registered for online questionnaire completion, only 25% (just over 100 000) have actually completed the questionnaire online. Households who complete the questionnaire online will be visited by a fieldworker to verify that the questionnaire has been completed.

Fieldworkers will continue visiting households to collect census data from those that have not registered as well as those that have not completed the online questionnaire. Respondents who have registered and not received the questionnaire link can contact the call centre on 0800 110 248 for assistance.
