Overview
- Enumerators began visiting households on Sept. 20 to distribute questionnaires for the Oct. 1 reference date.
- Online responses open once materials are received, postal submissions start Oct. 1, and both are due by Oct. 8.
- Enumerators carry photo identification, and residents should never provide money, bank PINs, credit-card numbers, or details about income or savings.
- Authorities say the census does not solicit responses by email, and suspicious calls or messages should be reported to municipal offices or police.
- The Interior Ministry introduced QR-code auto-fill to simplify smartphone submissions, and responses are mandatory under the Statistics Law despite growing challenges to maintain high response rates.
