The Central Bureau of Statistics will commence today the seventh census of the State of Israel, and for the first time, it will be possible to answer it online. The last census was conducted in 2008.
President Isaac Herzog kicked off the new census Monday and was the first citizen to respond to the questionnaire. "The census is an essential means for a functioning and modern country. The census is essential for a country like ours, that is a member of the OECD, and is an advanced country in many ways, to be able to rely on databases in all that it does," the president said.
