Regulation 13 Delivery of packs to households and electors by hand
The Registrar General must issue every census team co-ordinator with—
a census electronic device for use in each enumeration district within that census team co-ordinator’s census team co-ordinator area;
such household packs and individual packs as the Registrar General considers necessary for the purpose of the census;
a list, accessible on the census electronic device, of the addresses of each household in the address register situated within that census team co-ordinator’s area to which household packs and individual packs (as appropriate) must be delivered under this regulation; and
such other documents or information the Registrar General considers necessary for the purpose of the census.
The census team co-ordinator must designate a census enumerator to deliver household packs and individual packs to each enumeration district, if requested.
The census team co-ordinator must, if requested, supply each census enumerator designated under paragraph (2) with a census electronic device for use in that census enumerator’s enumeration district.
The census enumerator must deliver—
a household pack to each household occupying a dwelling, or part of a dwelling, the address for which is accessible on the census electronic device;
an individual pack to each household that contains an elector in the census enumerator’s enumeration district who has not already received an individual pack and of whom the census enumerator has been informed by the census team co-ordinator; and
household packs and individual packs (as appropriate) to any other households or electors that are located by the census enumerator in that census enumerator’s enumeration district.
The census enumerator’s duty to deliver a pack under paragraph (4) shall be satisfied in respect of each household and elector if the census enumerator hands the pack to the householder, joint householder or elector. Where no such person is available, the census enumerator—
may leave the pack with a person who can act on behalf of the prescribed person; or
may post the pack to the address accessible on the census electronic device or to the address of which the census enumerator was informed by the census team co-ordinator.
The census enumerator must make a record in the census electronic device—
of each household pack and individual pack delivered in accordance with this regulation; and
of any additional households located by the census enumerator.
Each census enumerator must enable the census team co-ordinator to have access to the information recorded on the census enumerator’s census electronic device.
The census enumerator must make a record in the fieldwork management tool, in accordance with such directions as may be issued by the Registrar General, to show that a delivery has been made to each address.
Nothing in this regulation shall prevent a census enumerator from being designated to deliver to more than one enumeration district.
