Importance of the 2020 Census

Picture
Next year’s Census will determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and how $675 billion dollars are distributed to local communities. A successful census depends on strong community engagement and participation, including the Complete Count Committees.

Complete Count Committees (CCC) are made up of a broad spectrum of leaders that are trusted voices within their communities. They organize, plan, and implement a localized campaign to promote participation in the 2020 Census.

Do you want to help Idaho have a clear representation? Contact your area’s Partnership Specialist below:
