In Mayotte, INSEE should lengthen the operations of a extremely anticipated census | EUROtoday

Started on November 27, 2025, scheduled to be accomplished on Saturday January 10, the exhaustive census of the inhabitants of Mayotte delivers a feared first verdict: solely three of the 17 municipalities of the division returned their copies on time after six weeks. The different, poor performers – together with the 2 greatest within the division, Mamoudzou and Koungou – want one to 2 further weeks to proceed door-to-door operations.

These delays are primarily due, in keeping with INSEE, to the disorganization of neighborhood companies, on the entrance line of the operation, as they’re chargeable for finishing up area surveys. The director normal of the nationwide institute, Fabrice Lenglart, endorsed, Friday January 9, the requests for extension from the 14 municipalities. In the distribution of roles, INSEE is chargeable for supporting the roughly 700 municipal census takers “to ensure compliance with protocol and control”.
