For the first time in four decades, the Census Bureau will miss their deadline for reporting distribution figures used to distribute conference seats.

The projected dates are fluid.”
The deadline of December 31 is still to be missed since the first institution in 1976, although officials say they hope it will be completed shortly after the new year. But the bureau did not specify whether it would be complied with until elected president Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021.

The president then sends a report to Congress of the population of each state along with their assigned number of Home Districts.
