Abstract
In the previous census, Estonia provided the people the opportunity of self-enumeration in an electronic e-census environment. The goal of the new solutions was to ensure a bigger coverage for the Census, a better quality and faster publication of the results. The e-census was a success: 2/3 of the persons enumerated took advantage of the new possibility and participated in the census online. By the way the e-census reduced census costs. The present article describes the experience of Statistics Estonia in preparing and conducting the e-census.
