Montana Department of Commerce warns of fake census form mailed by Republican National Committee

The survey is called the “2019 Congressional District Census” and was mailed by the Republican National Committee.

Official U.S. Census Bureau surveys don’t cost money to complete, aren’t mailed by political groups

HELENA, Mont. – Montana’s Census and Economic Information Center at the Department of Commerce is reminding Montanans today that official U.S. Census Bureau surveys will never ask respondents for money, and those surveys will always be postmarked from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau.

This reminder comes on the heels of an apparent imitation Census survey being mailed to Montana voters. The survey is called the “2019 Congressional District Census” and was mailed by the Republican National Committee. In addition, it asks respondents to pay, at minimum, $15 for processing the “Census Document.”
