From KQED.

From KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, I'm Nina Kim. Coming up on forum, your household can still get counted in the 2020 census for now.

The uncertain end date is because the census, a constitutionally mandated and consequential population count, is caught up in political controversy and a legal fight. We make sense of it.

Then Kim Alexander is back to take your voting questions. The head of the Nonpartisan California Voter Foundation can tell you how to avoid common mistakes on mail-in ballots, and how to vote if you've been displaced.

Forum is next after this news.

This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim. No one knows for sure when counting for the 2020 census is set to end, which is kind of crazy when you think about how important this once-in-a-decade population count is. It's used to determine each state's share of seats in Congress, its electoral college votes, and federal funding for the next 10 years.

If you're confused about the status of the census, too, you can post your questions now at KQED Forum on Facebook or Twitter or email them to forum at kQED.org.

Because joining us to explain what's going on is the hardest working census report. Facebook or Twitter or email them to forum at KQED.org.

NPR's national correspondent Hansi Loong.
