The deadline for the electronic population census expires on September 30,  the National Statistical Institute (NSI) reports. The number of those counted electronically is already over 2,290,000, Sergei Tsvetarski, head of the NSI, told the BNR. About 4,500,000 people have already been counted, along with those covered by the physical enumerators. Ten years ago, 40 percent of the population was counted electronically.

"Our forecasts did not come true - we expected that now, with the development of technology, about 60% of Bulgarians would count themselves online, but we are far from this percentage. We rely now on the data to be collected by enumerators during house visits," Tsvetarski commented. 
The physical visits of the enumerators will continue until October 10.
