The first phase, known as the House Listing and Housing Census, will run from June 16 to July 15, 2026. During this phase, officials will collect information related to houses, housing facilities, and living conditions.
Subsequently, the second phase will focus on population enumeration and demographic details.
Therefore, authorities expect the phased approach to ensure accurate and comprehensive data collection.
Fully Digital Census Process

Population enumeration in snow-bound areas will take place from September 11 to September 30, 2026. Meanwhile, officials will conduct population counting in the remaining areas of the state between February 9 and February 28, 2027.
