Correct the Count Act

The "Correct the Count Act" mandates a significant change to the decennial census, requiring the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a population count that includes only citizens of the United States . This bill specifies that all tabulations of population must exclusively reflect U.S. citizens, departing from previous census practices that counted all residents regardless of citizenship status. To achieve this, the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the Bureau of the Census, must include a citizenship question on all census questionnaires. This question will feature a checkbox or similar option for respondents to indicate the citizenship status of themselves and every member of their household, ensuring that only citizen data is collected and used for official population counts.
