For the first time, householders will be able to fill out their census forms online.

From today until Census Day on March 5, the forms will be hand-delivered to every household across New Zealand by a team of more than 7000 collectors.

The 93 census collectors in the Whanganui region will deliver internet access codes, a dwelling form and an individual form for each person who will be encouraged to go online to fill out their forms. It is secure, quick and easy and all forms completed online will be encrypted to ensure the information is protected by a high level of security.

If a household completes the forms online, collectors may not have to return.

Everyone in New Zealand on Census Day, including overseas tourists, must fill in a form.
