LWVUS Action Alert: League Urges U.S. Senate to Extend Census Reporting Deadlines

US Census 2020 image
Time Range For Action Alert: 
November 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020

LWVUS is urging Congress to extend the statutory reporting deadlines that the U.S. Census must follow when sending apportionment numbers to the President and sending redistricting data to the states. It is incredibly important for the Census Bureau to carefully  follow the necessary protocols and get the most accurate data, not only because it effects redistricting and representation, but also because it determines where the billions of dollars in federal funding are distributed to states and localities. Members of the LWVUS Lobby Corps will be visiting with members of the U.S. Senate about this important issue during the lame duck session of the 116th Congress.
