1911 United Kingdom census boycotters

This is a list of people who participated in or organised the boycott of the 1911 United Kingdom census as part of the campaign for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. On census night, 2 April 1911, some campaigners evaded enumeration or refused to supply information; others recorded protests on their census forms. Supporters also organised gatherings, provided accommodation and publicised the boycott. The number of participants remains uncertain; historians have questioned contemporary estimates of as many as 100,000.
