Phase 1, the House Listing and Housing Census, begins with self-enumeration from June 16 to June 30, 2026, followed by house-to-house fieldwork from July 1 to July 30, 2026. This phase collects data on housing conditions, amenities, and household assets, and provides the framework for Phase 2. Phase 2, Population Enumeration, is scheduled for February 2027, with September 2026 reserved for snow-bound areas. A five-day revisional round for self-enumeration will also be conducted. This phase gathers data on demographic, socio-cultural, and economic parameters, including migration and fertility characteristics.
