Correct the Count Act
HR 4884, the "Correct the Count Act," requires the U.S. Census Bureau to count only U.S. citizens in the next population census, rather than all residents. It mandates adding a citizenship checkbox to the census questionnaire so respondents can indicate citizenship status for themselves and household members. This change directly affects how census data is collected and used for apportioning congressional seats and distributing federal funds. The bill alters the fundamental methodology of the decennial census by excluding non-citizens from population tabulations.
